Steam Train Runs 20 Miles

January 20, 2006

The West Somerset Railway recaptures the era of the branch line country railway in the days of the steam train. Enjoy 20 miles of glorious Somerset scenery as the steam train gently rolls back the years on its journey beside the Quantock Hills and the Bristol Channel coast. Just sit back in your seat and watch the steam and countryside drift past the window.

The Railway has all the atmosphere of a Great Western Railway branch line. There are ten restored stations along the route, each having its own charm and character; many have signalboxes, engine sheds, museums, displays, steam engines and other rolling stock to see.
