Mike West liked 46229's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
I'm struggling to understand why this is considered another 'oh dear' story specific to the WSR? Anyone who has been paying attention and not living in a parallel universe should surely realise that every heritage railway is engaged in a serious...
