Picture of the Day
Postponed from 25 September 2021 (due to an expected clash with the running of D1015 Western Champion on the main line) 'Hymek' Type 3 diesel-hydraulic D7018 took its last scheduled run of 2021 over the West Somerset Railway on Saturday 16 October. Leaving Bishops Lydeard at 11.35, it proceeded non-stop to Watchet for a photo-stop and then to Blue Anchor, from where it is shown departing for Dunster. Returning from there at 13.25, the train ran back to Norton Fitzwarren before terminating at Bishops Lydeard at 15.25. In both directions, fellow preserved 'Hymek' D7017 was noted ticking over in the shed yard at Williton.
