DIESELGEN – three diesels running 21-Aug-21
In addition to the ‘Crompton 60th birthday special’ that is running between Bishops Lydeard (BL) and Dunster (DR) today, our Beyer-Peacock ‘Hymek’ D7018 has been called into action to provide cover for a steam locomotive that has developed an issue.
The workings today are:
1135 BL – DR with D6575 (33 057) leading and D6566 (33 048) trailing
1325 DR – BL with D6566 (33 048) leading and D6575 (33 057) trailing
and
1235 BL – Minehead (MD) with haulage by D7018 and bus connection to MD from DR
1410 MD – BL with haulage by D7018 and departure from DR at 1440
Walk-up tickets are available for these services.
If you are unable to attend, the webcams provide a very good way of watching the action from afar. Here are the links:
