West Somerset Railway

The West Somerset Railway (WSR) is a 22¾ mile heritage railway line in Somerset and is currently the longest standard gauge heritage railway in the United Kingdom. Services normally operate over just the 20½ miles between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard. During special events some trains continue a further two miles to Norton Fitzwarren where a connection to Network Rail allows occasional through trains to operate to and from the national network. The WSR operates services using both heritage steam and diesel trains.
