Company Description
Our Railway, a true country branch line of the old Great Western Railway is full of fascination whether you are looking for a nostalgic ride back in time through lovely countryside or to study the railway and industrial heritage which our line preserves. The historic steam locomotives, coaches and wagons, and the buildings of our ten unique stations linked by a twenty mile scenic journey will repay hours of exploration. The surrounding countryside is as varied as it is beautiful. The gently rolling Quantock hills and distant Exmoor, unspoilt villages and farms nestling in leafy lanes, the cliffs and coast of the Bristol Channel with views of distant South-Wales, confident Church Towers, Dunster's imposing Castle and Minehead's seaside charm are all waiting to be discovered.
Murder Mystery Specials
The Dates on Saturdays for this Year are:
- 30th October - Halloween Murder Mystery
- 11 December - Winter Murder Mystery
As you go peacefully about your train journey to and from the seaside the actors of “Murder by Appointment” will be staging another new murderous tale for you to try to solve. Apart from the dastardly doings your steam train ride will also include a fish and chip supper, dessert and a glass of wine (or if you prefer a non-alcoholic alternative) served to you at your seat as the train leaves Bishops Lydeard at 19.00 (except the 8th May which departs at 18:30). Plus of course the mystery unfolding before your eyes. Advance booking is essential.
