Successful Mixed Traction Gala

This weekend, Midsomer Norton station was blessed with unexpectedly good weather and four locos in action! Our biggest ever gala saw our resident Class 08 and 03 Diesel Shunters working alongside unique Sentinel steam locomotive ‘Joyce’ and the visiting Kitson 0-6-0ST ‘Austin 1’. We operated an intensive timetable that saw both freight and passenger services, with all combination of locos in action. Two vintage buses were on site assisting with transport to and from the gala. The Wickham Trolley was also put to work providing a ride within the confines of the station yard - don't forget that we have a series of "Wickham Wednesdays" commencing July 28th when you'll have the opportunity for a ride over the full length of the line.

Highlights from the weekend included the last passenger services on both the Saturday  and Sunday triple headed! Our thanks to all the visitors who came and made the weekend such a success!

If you were not able to make the Gala Weekend, ‘Austin 1’ will be in steam hauling passenger trains on most Sundays throughout the summer - see timetable for details or  Click here to buy tickets
