Oddly reminiscent of 1960s branch line tours over freight lines, this is a superb shot of Midsomer Norton's DMU at the far end of the existing line, soon to be extended.
I suspect that in five years' time there will be a double track main line at this point with regular steam operation.

This is fantastic. What a credit to all the people involved at Midsomer Norton - well done to you all!
Let's hope to see Radstock, Shepton, Wincanton and the like back on the rail network in the coming years.
All this without any central government meddling. Viva localism!
This is all good stuff, It just shows what can be done. The station and buildings are a real credit to all those involved with the Midsomer Norton project, you all have done the unthinkable by erasing all traces of the Beeching era.
This should be an encouragement to the newer projects up and down the line. which have the support and will and are already working hard at Midford , Spetisbury, in there clearance work and the archeology that is being done at both these sites.
Finally I will not forget those at the Shillingstone Station Project that also has don a first class restoring the station and related buildings to a very High standard Well done all, at that project.
It is with people like this "we will get our trains back"
