MINEHEAD STATION WSR THE LAST TIME TRAINS RETURNED AFTER A LONG ABSENCE

[@ianomeara3963]

I was there in May of 2017 a wonderful day.🚂

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Everyone was happy to have the trains running again!

[@TedCarolCollins]

Thanks for another enjoyable video, your train videos inspired me to film the Train of Lights in Torbay just before Christmas

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

That sure is a grand sight to see!

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

really enjoyed this Mi8ke, a real family day. thank you

[@terrywatson7997]

Totally different scenario then compared to today. No masks etc. Hopefully 2022 will be a better year for the WSR. Thanks Mike.

Now the crossing gates have been replaced post gale, we are all set to go for the 19th March.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

We all wish the best for the WSR!

[@clvskl5058]

Well that was certainly was a better time of our lives, strange to see no masks Mike

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Things were certainly much better back then Clive!

[@janinapalmer8368]

What brought about this long absence..?

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

It was largely a case of replacing a lot of worn out track and difficulties in getting replacement points in places.

@@ADMIRALSCORNER ~ oh I see ... the track ( and points too ) have seen a lot of use and I can well understand the need for maintenance and safety .. I suppose the track gets inspection audits on a regular basis like our heritage tracks do ...
