Of all the preserved/ Heritage lines in the UK the WSR is proving to be one of the most, if not, the most line in a serious and precarious state, with likely no trains til next Spring and even then possibly not over the whole line.
This despite valiant efforts by mainly elderly volunteers to shift by hand many tons of surplus ballast left lying in the four foot near Doniford and hand pull thousands of weeds in stations along the line, which is mostly choked with weeds, as no Weedspraying was arranged this year.
Last weekend and next, two small living museum type events are taking place at Minehead Stn, centering on one loco in steam being turned and a diesel shunter playing with some trucks.
By various pictures posted elsewhere and anecdotal information last weekend's events were not too well supported and not helped by the poor weather.
Did anyone reading this attend and if so what was their impression of the event please .
