Hi Mike , Another great video, The dmu is a bit of a puzzle a few people have wondered why it’s not running, it seems to be in the workshop @ Minehead most of the time, a Hst is Due to run on the line over the weekend , also talk of the wsr maybe having a hst permanently on line although that could be a while away.
@@ADMIRALSCORNER GWR ‘Castle’ Class HST set will be operating on the WSR during the Saturday of the forthcoming SUMMER DIESEL FESTIVAL and will also be in use on Sunday 9th. I don't have have any timings am afraid , They maybe on gala timetable . If i hear anything i will post on here for you.
Ohhh NO🥹.. what's all this then ? A DM invasion or something..? Not a single steam loco in sight .... I've never seen so many DM 's in such a short space of time . What's going on ... Those diesel things should be banned from the WSR . Keeping it a steam only enterprise.... Blue Anchor is my favourite of all the stations along that line ... It brings memories back of when I was younger and spent a week or so with my auntie who lived in that big house called " The Retreat" in Blue Anchor Bay road next to the station ...it's such a pretty spot which meant I was looking at the station instead of those awful DM things 😃.... a good video as always Mike .. but keep it steam 🚂 ....
When we were looking for a house in this part of the world we got seriously interested in The Retreat which was for sale at that time but in the end couldn't get enough Mortgage for that to happen. There is a great view from there of the railway and the coast.
Lovely to see Mike. Pleased to see the weather was being kind too.

Great to see some unusual diesels on the line but the star of this video Admiral was that amazing patriotic waistcoat. Great stuff.
Very appropriate for this special weekend!
Hello Mike, smashing video. I have been watching all day on the webcam. Edward
They are so useful, especially at special events.
How many people know that parts of this line ( around Crowcombe) were used by the Beatles during the making of the movie Hard Days Night ..?

@@paulfrancis764 Thank you. I do have a timetable for the event which only shows the HST on the Sunday.
I am pleased to see the on line Saturday timetable has now been updated to give the HST times.
Is there a video of showing how the gates work from inside the tower ?
No, but its a mechanical system where the signalman turns a large wheel to move the gates.

It's the Diesel Gala weekend that's why there are so many Diesels and no Steam.
Lots of diesel action!
