WSR Season 2024

Preparing for the upcoming 2024 Season

The West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust is busy preparing for the new upcoming West Somerset Railway 2024 Season. 

The Gauge Museum Bishops Lydeard will reopen on Saturday, 23rd March, and then thereafter when the trains are running.

Within the Museum, there will be some information about some special events happening during this new season,  such as cream tea weekends and kids’ events. Stay tuned! 

In 1985, the Great Western Railway celebrated its 150th anniversary. The Gauge Museum Blue Anchor has needed some extensive refurbishment in the last few years, and the Trust hopes to re-open this Gauge Museum in the Spring of 2024.

The WSRHT continues its Educational Outreach activities during this period. If you have inquiries about our Education Programme, please reach out to helen.anson@wsrht.co.uk.
