By train from Minehead to Bristol?

No excuses for using another picture of the Virgin Voyager, this time coming across the "ladder" at Norton Fitzwarren and joining the Minehead Branch. At the recent meeting for active volunteers, the Chairman of the WSR Plc announced the possibility of a regular diesel-powered service from Minehead to Bristol during the high summer. Not all arrangements finalised so it would be inappropriate to go into detail at this point in time but the initiative is quite a considerable milestone in the history of the "new" West Somerset Railway. From the re-birth in the early 1970s, it has always been the aim to use the Railway to get folks to and from West Somerset. Excursions have been running for years now, and the Taunton Shuttles during recent Gala events have begun to provide a "public service", but, hey, the Bristol trains, if they happen, will cut a new shine on the Minehead Branch rails.
