West Somerset Railway May 2024

Lovely, the beautiful old steam chuff chuffs. Great choice of video Martin bringing the past back to life and showing the well cared for engine and carriages. They looked like the old 1960s British rail stock which many steam railways use. The locomotive chuffed and puffed, so that you didn't have to 😊

@@mmwaashumslowww7167 Thanks. Yes I did like hearing the chuff chuff sounds as well. Sounds like a proper old train. It was a lovely ride. 😊😊

Really nice video Martin, the bus to minehead from Taunton is whilst not the most straight route very pretty so not surprised the views from the steam train are so beautiful. I've been meaning to ride this train for a while now - pushes it up list of things to do 😊

@@JessesGrandDaysOut Hi Jessie. I'd been meaning to do this trip for a long time so it was nice to eventually do it. It's definitely worth the money I think. I'm just about to watch your Weymouth video. 😊😊

It was much busier during the 1940s event. Great video. Great to support the railway.

@@NicolaExplores We've been to the Minehead area many times but this was our first time on the train. It was really nice & we will try to go to the 1940's event next year. I will have to have a look at what events are going on at the Bitton railway as well as we live right by it. 🙂🙂

@@MartinPopeFilmmaker oh brilliant…we enjoy visiting the railway as well. We went to a 1940s one last year, but unfortunately there was a lot of rain and everyone left except for one man with his car and one singer. They didn’t do it this year, but I hope they run it again next one. Let me know if you go as we’re nearby so could be fun to film together or get a cuppa at the station ☕️

@@NicolaExplores That would be great. 🙂🙂👍👍
