| • A Great Family Day Out...

|
The Fat Controller writes...
...why not come along with Mum & Dad and your family and friends to the West Somerset Railway over the weekend of 3 and 4 July for a Day Out With "Thomas" and meet his many friends...
I will be there as well to make sure all engines behave themselves, and look forward to welcoming you. Lots of friends of "Thomas" will pull all our trains from Bishops Lydeard, which is just outside Taunton. You should buy your tickets in advance to reserve your seats on the morning trains.
At Minehead there will be lots to see and do. "Diesel" will be fussing around the station area, trying to keep "Troublesome Trucks" in order. "Thomas" or "Duck" will be giving short train rides and will be really pleased to say hello to you!
You will be able to put water in the engines and visit the footplate of "Mavis' Cousin Maud". There will also be games and competitions and other attractions on the platform. "Mrs Kyndley" will be serving refreshments in her special coach on Platform 2, and the Buffer Stop Shop will also be open throughout the weekend.
