Superb as always Craig, excellent camera work, and a joy to take the trip with you. Whilst I'm not a SR fan as such I do like this unit and it's wonderful quirkiness...Roll on parts two and three...Bob

Cheers Chris! Shall have to check out your videos in due course ;-)

[HSTChris]

@21C123 I am working on uploading them at the moment, they'll be here soon :)

[21C123]

@HSTChris Cool, will have to stop by your channel later tonight or tomorrow then. I'm working on part 2 of this now and there's still a part 3 to do.

Brilliant Video Craig! how long is the WSR?

[21C123]

Cheers Michael. The WSR is about 20 miles long.

[crazymanlargemarge]

@21C123: oh ok! must take along time to get from one end to the other, at only 25mph :/

[HSTHoward]

@crazymanlargemarge just under an hour then!

[21C123]

Does a bit. Looking through the WSR's timetable, their trains take roughly around 1 hour and 15 minutes to get from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead. However, their trains stop at most/all stations which doesn't help (they have 10 stations). Looking at our times for yesterday, we were supposed to do the WSR in an hour. There's some cracking scenery so the long journey time isn't at all that bad.

@21C123: oh ok, i knew they couldnt do it in under an hour :L

[21C123]

@crazymanlargemarge The return from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard on paper was meant to take 57 minutes, but I don't think that happened as we had a slightly longer than expected stop at Blue Anchor due to a couple of tour participants missing the tour at Minehead! And in the end they boarded at Williton IIRC, which was an unscheduled stop. It's possible though, but only just.

[crazymanlargemarge]

@21C123: oh ok! the scenery looks good aswell :P i might have to visit there sometime! :)
