50 years ago today, our lovely Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway was closed. This weekend, some 20 years after rebuilding began at Midsomer Norton, it's been an absolute pleasure to be able to meet so many visitors and also to see steam engines again running through the beautiful north Somerset countryside.
