The Somerset And Dorset Railway: Tales From The Footplate

Take a journey on The Somerset & Dorset Railway back to the halcyon days of steam to a time when a tablet was either taken for a headache or used to ensure only one train was on a single track section at a time, and blackberries were picked on the line-side to make a pie. The book will take you on the journey from Bath to Bournemouth describing the stations along the route.................... and is complemented by Tales From The Footplate as told by Somerset & Dorset men. In 1966 The Somerset & Dorset railway succumbed to the 'Beeching Axe' but is now rising from the ashes at Midsomer Norton thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers..................The book is also a guide to the present day Somerset & Dorset Railway Heritage Trust at Midsomer Norton South Station.
