West Somerset Gala 28th to 30th  March 2014 Roger Winnen

31/3/2014

 
Although the West Somerset Railway is not one normally covered by this website news that many of the stations had been renamed after long gone stations which are our bread and butter is a very good excuse to break new ground.  Congratulations to the West Somerset on the very professional nameboards and to the general turnout.  Roger Winnen is also thanked for passing on his superb photographs,  thank heavens the weather was grand. The pictures are in the order Roger took them, not station order.

Portsmouth Arms. Perhaps a little confusing to have two stations named Portsmouth Arms - one in Devon and one in Somerset. Copyright Roger Winnen

Bridestowe Station. One wonders should the Dawlish deviation around Okehampton - Tavistock come about will this name be carried by an active station again. Copyright Roger Winnen 29th March 2014
