Due to Covid-19 The West Somerset Railway sadly could not open as normal, but the volunteers and staff of the railway came together to out on two weekends of a Living Museum at Minehead station, with Steam Train movements, the Turn Table in operation, trips on a vintage bus and Diesel Shunters hard at work and a special behind the scene glimpse into the engine sheds!. Here are some pictures from the event on the weekend of 25th and 26th July 2020.
