    S2 crew - Driver Aaron Manley and Fireman Liam Hebditch
    S1 PM crew - Driver Chris Northey, Fireman Bailey Maxwell and Trainee Fireman Jack Edmondson.

    I went to the WSR Autumn Gala over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the event. It was a shame about the timetable slippages on all three days, but they didn't spoil my enjoyment of the gala. I was a bit disappointed by the cancellation of the MD - BA shuttles on Sunday but given the late running of services it was certainly a good call. A BIG thank you to all the railway's staff and volunteers for putting on such a good event. I'm looking forward to both the spring and autumn galas next year.

    Not sure it's been mentioned here, but GWR are running a shuttle service from Taunton to Bishops Lydeard on Tuesday 25th and Friday 28th November in connection with the Rail 200 'Inspiration' exhibition train. Travel is free, but you need a pre-booked ticket for the exhibition train at Bishops Lydeard (which is also free!).

    Great to see the 150 shuttling back and forth all day long today and back on Tuesday. Seems Tuesday all ran to time and today so far is also the same.

    Great work from the WSR and GWR :Happy:
