All change at Chard Junction!
​An exciting youtube video

All has undoubtedly changed at Chard Junction, the branch in no more, the station closed in October 1964 and since then the Milk Factory has closed and disappeared. Mark Lancaster has, over a period of years, assembled a collection of clips of pictures from the CRS website together with some excellent footage of his own taken both from ground level  and from a drone. The collection is cemented together by a commentary by Roxanne Lancaster and makes for some very interesting nostalgic viewing.

A charming scene on Saturday 2nd September 1989. It was warm, and dry but mainly overcast. Youngsters play on the swings and slides, and a cricket match is in progress as 31466 and 31444 pass through the remains of the long closed station with the 1717 Paignton to Liverpool. The station had closed w.e.f. 5th October 1964 Copyright Ron Kosys
