Project News

We understand that our colleagues at the Radstock and Frome Railway Trust voted, at a meeting on Saturday 25th February, to wind-up their group but in that process to make a significant donation from their residual cash assets to the North Somerset Railway Company C.I.C. We very much appreciate the gift and will continue to work for the re-opening of the branch. 

The North Somerset Railway is now in a position to progress the work on the transport and works order to reinstate the line to Radstock. This is on the a basis of a full reinstament with a Train Operating Company running the service  with possible optional heritage interval services. With letters of support from MP's and local councils we are finally in a position to progress more actively.

This is a voluntary position which is not significantly onerous as we do not have the usual business transactions. A person is required at a time when the project is expanding and becoming exciting. For more details, please click here.

We have purchased two wagons, a YBA Sturgeon, 27 tons numbered 994281, and a Flatrol weighing 30tons. They are being stored by our friends at the East Somerset Railway, Cranmore, until we can use them for their intended purpose, which is track and infrastructure.

Photographs will appear in 'Gallery' shortly.

Due to the health problems of the Financial Director a person is required to take on that position if those problems deteriorate. More details can be found by clicking here
