A LITTLE MORE OF WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY.

When I was young I used to travel regularly on trains like these. At least once a week I used to travel either to Leamington spa or Hatton, sometimes Birmingham (Moore st which is now gone).These forays were usually trainspotting or for the natural history museum in B'ham, this was brilliant and I and a friend or two would spend hours there.Below a photo of a Pullman Restaurant carriage, these were way beyond my means in those days. On these trips all around, we would go to Stratford upon Avon station, buy a platform ticket (1d in those days) then jump on any local train all over the place,this was fine as long as you did not try to exit any of the stations you arrived at (no guards).
This car (above) is the station restaurant at Minehead.This was the first time I had been into one when we recently dropped in for a cuppa.
As you can see the carriages have been restored to a high level.
Naughty boy but i remember as a teenager trying to do some "courting" in between stations (unsuccessfully).
When traveling in these you looked out for an empty carriage but nine times out of ten, at the very next station someone else would come in.
Do you remember when carriages looked like this, with side walk ways and individual compartments connected by a moving tunnel (reminded me of a cakewalk) that used to terrify me.
Joke of the day.
Patient, Doctor, Doctor I cant stop singing the green green grass of home. The Doctor says "that sounds like Tom Jones syndrome to me",
Patient, "Is that common",
Doctor, "Its not unusual".
