Midsomer 'Up' line returns to public use after 47 years

[11D]

After 47 years the 'up' line at Midsomer today (21 April) saw it's first public use since closure.

Members of the Wells Rail Fraternity were the first to travel the stretch of line, driving D1120 from platform 2 up to the Somervale point, in the 'Driver for a Fiver' experience.

The driving experience is 2 trips, one to learn and the other where you 'do everything'. It will be available to the public over the both of next weekends open days (27 + 28 April).

We look forward to seeing you try it - described by one today as "Really very satisfying!".
