West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

Steve Williams, Company Secretary, writes to Trust members:

Dear Member

As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic and Government requirements around self isolating, the Board of Trustees has decided to postpone the 2020 Steam Trust AGM. The Board had intended that this would be held on 23rd May and you would have been receiving the agenda and papers for the meeting around this time. The Charity Commission has provided charities with significant flexibility as to when the AGM can be held including the possibility of conducting the meeting electronically but not all Members are on email and/or use computers. Companies House is also provide the facility to extend filing of Annual Accounts by up to 3 months which in our case would mean December 2020 at the latest. We will be in touch with Members as soon as possible once the situation around social gathering and travel has been clarified and it is possible to set a new date.

Steve Williams Company Secretary

Rail200: All Aboard for Young Engineers Day with Seth

Rail200 Celebrations: Meet Seth - who is going to the Young Engineers Day

© WSRHT 2025

My name is Seth, I am 7 years old and am very excited about the “Young Engineers Day” on the West Somerset Railway. I am glad my Mummy and Daddy reserved a space early for me because both days are now sold out and I love trains. 

I have two favourite locomotives on the WSR, they are 9351 the Mogul and 7822, Foxcote Manor, and I would like to be a train driver one day.

I am also looking forward to meeting Mr. Chris Vine as I have some of the Peters Railways books, I bought one from the WSRHT and I had 3 for Christmas from Grandma. My favourite story is “The Surprise Goods”.

I couldn’t choose which thing I was looking forward to most of all, the signal box visit, the train ride to Minehead, visiting the Engine Shed or watching and learning about the Turntable? So, I ask my Mummy and she said “put all of them”!

I will tell you all about the day when I get back, but I am really looking forward to it.

Seth, aged-seven.
