More information:

The West Somerset Railway (WSR) is a 23 miles long heritage railway line in Somerset, England. It originally opened in 1874 but was closed by British Rail in 1971 and reopened in 1976 as a heritage line. It is the longest standard gauge heritage railway in the United Kingdom. Services using both heritage steam and diesel trains normally operate over just the 21 miles between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard. During special events some trains continue a further two miles to Norton Fitzwarren where a connection to the national network allows occasional through trains to operate onto the line.
