West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

WSR Autumn Steam Gala, Thursday 3 to Sunday 6 October 2019

This weekend come along to the Gauge Museum on Platform One at Bishops Lydeard and try out our brand-new Gala Goods Trail. The museum is in the old goods shed and we tell its story with a secret code to crack as you go around. Successful code breakers win a certificate.

Taunton – Bishops Lydeard Shuttle Service

Visit the Autumn Steam Gala without the traffic problems this Saturday on a GWR train from Taunton. Trains leave Taunton at 09.39, 10.28 and 12.10 for Bishops Lydeard, connecting with the steam trains and allowing you to visit the Gauge Museum and model railway and take part in our new Gala Goods Trail.

For the four days of our Autumn Steam Gala there will be more trains and extra activities than would have been normal on a country railway line of the past to add interest.
