West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

Have you got what it takes to help manage and direct  a small but dynamic charity?

The West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust (formerly the Steam Trust) is looking for two Trustees to join the Board. In addition to their corporate responsibilities, each Trustee will lead on a specific portfolio. These are safety management and heritage carriage restoration. The charity has a full programme of work derived from its Business Plan and is in the process of completing a Natural Heritage Lottery Fund project on the Gauge Museum at Bishops Lydeard station.

If you think you have the skills and interests that you believe would benefit the Trust, then a copy of the role profile and portfolio specification can be obtained from:

Steve Williams, Acting Chairman

We look forward to hearing from you.

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.
