Hi Keith, on Tuesdays through August we are running brakevan rides
at Yeovil junction hauled by one of our diesels, plus the miniature railway operating as well. To encourage people to visit us on these days
We are charging an entry price 0f £3 per adult, children under four free,
and £1 for children from 5 to 15. We did this last year and it was very
well appreciated by the visitors.
We are doing the same again this year and visitor numbers have been very encouraging on the first three days. Some pics of today from the junction cheers JOHN C. Next on 22nd and then 29th August all pictures by John Cornelius - Copyright

RCTS: Farewell to Southern Steam 18/6/67. Bulleid original WC pacific 34023 Blackmore Vale and rebuilt West Country no. 34108 Wincanton double-head the special through the New Forest much of which is actually devoid of trees. This pairing of motive power hauled the penultimate leg of this tour from Weymouth to Salisbury via Bournemouth, Southampton, Eastleigh and Romsey and was, by this time, running some 45 minutes down on its schedule. The sixbellsjunction web site states that none of the locos wore their erstwhile names but Wincanton certainly did. However, whether they were the real deal or replicas I know not but I think, from a long-ago memory, that they were the real ones. [Mike Morant]
