There was an attempt to save Barnstaple - Ilfracombe, but never got off the ground & society folded.
David Shepherd's locos were once based on the Longmoor military railway, Liss Hants. Plans to turn the main line into a heritage railway met with local opposition. Relocated to what is now the East Somerset
The Isle of wight steam railway originally had its HQ at Newport station, but the site was aquired for the bypass, hence relocaton to Havenstreet
as mentioned, the S&D trust once occupied Radstock, again local opposition hence relocation to the WSR
