• Special Trains for the Candlelight Event...
| |
| |
|
Every year the medieval village of Dunster turns back the clock and celebrates a traditional Christmas almost entirely lit by candlelight. A magical evening for all the family, with special train services to the event from Bishops Lydeard on 5 and 6 December.
By far the best way to beat the inevitable traffic jams is to travel to the event by train on the WSR, as special services are operated on both evenings.
Passengers have the choice of alighting at Dunster Station and walking to the village - about twenty minutes (please bring a torch) or travelling from Minehead Station by a special dedicated free bus service to the edge of Dunster. Please note wheelchair access to the bus connection cannot be guaranteed.
All outward trains depart from Bishops Lydeard then non-stop before setting down at Dunster and Minehead.
|
| | Departing from Bishops Lydeard:
| | 4.30pm Steam (return leaves Minehead at 8.30pm)
| | 5.30pm Steam (return leaves Minehead at 9.30pm). Passengers on the 5.30pm outward train may also order a fish and chip meal.
