Past And Present The West Somerset Railway
- The West Somerset Railway
- The current West Somerset Railway runs from Bishops Lydeard near Taunton to Minehead, and at over 21 miles is the longest preserved line in the UK. For that, and for the scale and quality of restoration over the past 25 years, it fully deserves to be classed among the premier heritage railways. It incorporates many of the classic ingredients of a traditional GWR branch: steam hauled trains and beautiful stations set in an idyllic countryside of rolling hills and seaside resorts.
- John Stretton has researched the archives to come up with a wealth of nostalgic views of the line in its GWR, BR and early preservation days, and has then photographed the same locations today. The result is an album that really captures the line's character over the years.
