The WSR Gala
Cambridge-Minehead-Cambridge
28 March 2009
UK Railtours say "Today is WSR's Spring Steam Gala, with an intensive service of steam trains in operation and much to see and do. Our departure is from Cambridge at 05.50 (back 23.05), Royston 06.10 (back 22.40), Stevenage 06.30 (back 22.20), Potters Bar 06.50 (back 22.00), London Finsbury Park 07.05 (back 21.40) Ealing Broadway 07.45 (back 20.55) and Slough 08.05 (back 20.35). We travel to Norton Fitzwarren, west of Taunton, where we veer right on to the little-used connection to Bishops Lydeard. In a break with past practice our train is expected to be steam-hauled from here to Minehead and back, hopefully by newly restored West Country Pacific 34046 Braunton, and you will have over three hours beside the sea. Stroll down to the 17th century harbour and you might be pleasantly surprised by Minehead!"
