    I'd have thought that the Swanage to Wareham debacle would have taught us that such pipe dreams end in tears.

    Films (and the BBC) don't tend to pay too much for simple location filming, if that's all that is basically involved. They aren't the cash cow many people think they are. I'd be more than happy to be told I'm wrong, though, and the WSR are getting a small fortune.

    I have seen the stock being returned to Great Yarmouth so that alone must have cost a fair bit

    Given that it’s DMU Party time in Somerset, I wondered if there was any news on the DMU appeal?

    Specifically, how much money has been raised and what is the next work-stage target?

    Thankyou for sharing!

    I feel very grateful for the nomination and short listing. Congratulations to Hannah Drury from the North Norfolk for winning the award.

    I would not have been nominated or shortlisted if it was not for the overwhelming support of the WSR family. Proud to be a part of it.

    Meanwhile, elsewhere in Somerset, there are social media reports that Trump and Zelensky met in the Yeovil Office....:)
