WSR50 28/03/2026
Saturday 28th March 2026 marks the present West Somerset Railway's 50th anniversary of getting back into business
Trains started running between Minehead and Blue Anchor. The first departure was at 1000 from Minehead. 0-6-0ST "Victor" hauled six coaches, some of which had arrived from the Big Railway only two days before and were still in BR blue and grey
I'm pleased to say the anniversary will be marked suitably, and full details will be made known on the WSR website and supporters' websites
