In preparation for the West Somerset Railway’s reopening for services on the 22nd of May, resident GWR 2-6-0 Mogul 9351 underwent testing after winter maintenance. Crew and engine seemed very happy to be out and about again. One local who’s house adjoins the line proclaimed, “That’s the best view I’ve seen all year”. We can’t wait to get back running again.
