Camra Real Ale Weekend 2002
The first day of the Camra Real Ale Weekend on 14 and 15 September 2002, saw good crowds having a good time in good weather.
The through train from Finsbury Park duly arrived - thirteen coaches hauled by an English, Welsh and Scottish Railways Class 66 no 66132 - cascading hundreds of people onto the large platform at Minehead. Not surprisingly, many were interested in the 38 different ales on offer, not to mention six ciders.
The Diesel & Electric Preservation Group's Western diesel-hydraulic D1010 "Western Campaigner" performed well - the first duty since completion of a heavy repair.
