• WSR Diesel Multiple Units...

The Railway has quite a history of using Diesel Multiple Units (DMU) during the "preservation age". Indeed, during the summer of 1976 that saw the reopenings, first the Minehead to Blue Anchor section in March, and then the longer stretch to Williton in August, the Railway started using the two two-car Park Royal DMUs on the fledgling "local" service. And the idea of a serious rail service, as opposed to a fun steam railway, did actually show some promise.
