📢West Somerset Railway Summer Diesel Festival
📅 Thursday 4th-Sunday 7th June
"Join us for our much-loved annual celebration of all things Diesel, our Summer Diesel Festival, which this year runs between Thursday 4th to Saturday 6th of June. If you love Diesels, this is the place to be!
You can expect to experience a feast of Diesel action, which will include multiple visiting locomotives and our faithful home locomotives, all working hard hauling a variety of services through the Quantock Hills and along the Bristol Channel.
This year, the event is particularly special, as we celebrate our 50th anniversary of the railway. At the event, we will have a selection of Diesel types that have had a connection with the WSR over the years."
