West Somerset Railway General Discussion

I hope that there will be extra carriages on the last two departures from Minehead tomorrow!

Good job its a 33 not a DMU

 

Any idea why there is no Loco roster on WSR.org?

Lovely old footage

 

I see any possible contribution from Non Facebook users is not wanted.

 

Can anyone give details where the coach station was in minehead please.

 

Haven't they already accepted an offer for the loco?

 

Sorry about this but I haven't received the details from the Loco folks.

No.

Half way up the main street, on the left hand side as you go up away from the railway station. I think it's the Co-Op now. Adjoined the large car park that I believe is still there.

There is a railtour visiting the WSR today. Class 47 hauled. Do it swap to stream at Bl please

 

The crew roster does not seem to show a swap over to steam.

 

I can't see where it says that.
You can PM Faol or Ian C via these pages if you want to offer support. You can e-mail me at the WSRA or Ian at the WSR if you would prefer.

Step one is a business plan. A part of this will be working out the how much and how long questions but it will also need information on any funding pledges already made and any offers of additional volunteer support.

There is a ton of work to do on the WSR, not just on loco's and Rodney Greenway is running a volunteer recruitment campaign at the moment.
People who want to do loco restoration work could also consider joining the efforts at Williton on 6695 and 4561. Again there is plenty to do.

If anybody wants to start actually making a donation I can be done via the existing Locomotive Restoration Fund. donating this way will bring the benefit of gift aid.
contact the WSRA on 01823 433856 to request a donation form.

Passed through BL at 1132, class 47's top and tail.

Hi Ploughman, I have only just got the Facebook page working but I guess you have to log into Facebook to use it. Something way out of my control. If you know how to do what you want it to do please let me know. When we make some progress then there may well be some form of access but at the moment it is beyond me, sorry. Ken

 

Are all the WSR webcams down, or is it my end?

 

Just looked at Blue Anchor and both Minehead; they're ok

 

All working AOK at TA10 1740.
