West Somerset Railway Spring Gala

THarris123 said:

Hi, Not sure whether this is the right area of RailUK to ask this (admins please move if not), but was wondering if anyone knows what the best way of getting from Taunton to Bishops Lydeard for the Spring Gala on Saturday?

Would it be easier to try to get to Norton Fitzwarren?

Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

I don't really want to rely on Buses of Somerset 28 if I can help it.

You only have the 28 bus service, perfectly acceptable, or taxi normally. Few years ago we had a temporary rail connection, so we could view the start of the Norton Fitzwarren turning triangle and virtual quarry of used ballast store. Really worth a visit, or take a direct rail tour, like the Quantock Intruder on 26th May with Clan Line from Paddington with loads of pick up points. Have fun..

Thanks for your help on this. I relied on 28 to and from Bishops Lydeard. I thought it might have been easier to walk from Norton Fitzwarren into Taunton, but only realised on the day that you couldnt board or alight there.
