The WSR could have been (and still could be) as originally intended, a successful working branch line between Taunton and Minehead. Instead, a certain clique of hobbyists by refusing to complete the short Taunton mainline connection have turned it into little more than a full-scale toy train set.
@@westsomersetrailwaytv1212 I am a former member of the WSR Association and am familiar with a number of arguments that, if I may say so, show lack of vision and in some cases are spurious. If you would like to enlighten me please do so here, not only for my benefit but for that of others who share my opinion.
We would be happy to do it and all help towards this would be gratefully received. A two man team recently did all three platforms at Bishops Lydeard and its no small undertaking ! I understand that Crowcombe station staff have also started both of theirs 😀 Plenty going on behind the scenes as this video shows ...
Will 53808 ever be returning to the WSR?
Is the wsr open on the 24 August 2020
Regrettably not.
What is the cost of chemical weed killer then for the entire length of the track ?
Around £10.000 a time to do the whole line.

There are some realities that you are unaware of. Do be in touch - happy to explain them.

stations would look nice if you painted the white lines down the edges of the platforms.
