Agreed. Luckily Dr Beeching didn't axe everything at the time. I just listened to Flanders and Swann's "Slow Train", for the first time in many years. Trouble House Halt was not far from my home.
And more snowdrops.. Next it might be Bluebells !! ??. Nice video. Certainly takes some organising to get people to Snowdrop valley. Full marks to WSR for steaming up, Most other railways would have stuck a diesel on.
Fabulous videos, in such awful weather. Thank you so much.
It was very enjoyable to be able to video steam in action once more. What a great debt we owe to those who saved the WSR!

I remember the song. I wonder how the Halt got that name? Did something bad happen nearby I wonder?
Trouble House Inn was close-by. Lots of bad luck and a drowning there. They have a web page with history. But it's now a cafe/bar.
Thanks for the info!
First bit of Steam that i have seen so far this year.A nice departure eventually.......Regards...Trevor.''
We have been on a starvation diet!
So looks like all the works were completed in time.
No waiting around to see video, well done,, your broadband speed so much improved than in past.
It certainly is. I can upload what used to take a day well within an hour these days! It makes such a difference!
Great video Mike, great to see the start of the seasona. Seen you on the WSR webcam at Bl when 6960 ravingham hall departed. Thumbs up from me👍
Thank you! I had a surprise at Williton when I arrived there. A nice person in the train called out I love your videos!
ADMIRALSCORNER Cheers Mike, I'm not the only one who likes your videos then!

It was really great to experience the power of steam on the rails again. I do need that as a regular fix!
No drugs then..You just inhale the steam lol
Yep!
7.12 in video great steam
Steam heating as well as power!
Nice to see my Grandad working hard on the gates at the end of the platform 😃
