THE West Somerset Railway (WSR) is planning to hold a reunion for volunteers and staff who helped to re-open the line between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead between 1971-79.

A buffet lunch will be held in the Beach Hotel opposite Minehead railway station on Saturday, October 3, during WSR’s Autumn Steam Gala.

Any volunteers who would like to attend should contact John Simms of the railway’s commercial department via [email protected] or 01643-700382 by September 28.
