The West Somerset Railway runs from Taunton to Minehead via Williton, Watchet, Blue Anchor and Dunster. Regular Train services from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard run throughout the summer and at most weekends all year, with charters and specials making that extra step to Taunton.

These pictures were taken on a special train day from Westbury, via Trowbridge, Bath and Bristol - the "Minehead Marauder" - organized on behalf of "The Railway Children" Charity.
