My father lived in Meare and when he was a lad used to walk 2 miles to Ashcott Station and catch the train into Burnham for a day out at the seaside and perhaps see a film at cinema. This was circa 1940/2. He would have loved to see this short film. Thanks for sharing it.
Fantastic, as always! It's amazing how so many areas surrounding the route have barely changed in 139 years, but others are almost unrecognizeable. Your video also shows the truly special nature, and the geographical extent, of the Somerset Levels. Thank you, bravo!
This is really fascinating. Have you considered doing the Strawberry Line that, I believe, ran from Yatton to Evercreach passing through Wells and Shepton Mallet Somerset.
Magic ! Dumpman Films is a huge fan, always enjoy these and this may be my favourite so far.
Fantabulous.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you.

These films conjure bring back memories of my childhood. Trainspotting was a hobby of mine.

Thanks! I am always impressed by the accuracy of the early maps when overlaid on the satellite imagery.

Thanks Geoffrey! Feel free to subscribe I have many more lost lines planned!
Wow! thank you!
This line was loved by the late Sir John Betchamen (Poet Laureate). There’s even a u tube film of him on this line in the early sixties.
Oh how lovely ❤
