Book Description | The railway to Minehead served the community faithfully for 100 years until it closed in 1971. Enthusiasts refused to let the line die and have spent almost 50 years rebuilding it as a heritage railway. It is the longest standard-gauge steam railway in the UK and one of the premier lines. It delights passengers who are hauled by GWR locomotives through the beautiful Somerset countryside and alongside the coast from Bishops Lydeard, near Taunton to the seaside resort of Minehead. This book tells the story of the heritage railway and how it got to be what it is today. COLOUR & BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS |
