Those of us who love steam and in particular the S&DJR owe a lot to Ivo Peters for having the foresite to record all this excellent film footage before this line sadly disappeared for good.

Something else that has sadly disappeared are the elm trees.

never been on this line but in the days of steam it must have been a fantastic journey from bath to Bournemouth through some really nice countryside geoffo

This will return.

Amazing sites never to be seen again in certain area's. I live in Dawlish so I am lucky in some of the engines that have been saved pass here sometime and what a site. Good old days

OMG EVENING STAR 92220 ran on the S&D :o ? Awesome! The S&D was one of the most picturesque and loved ‘branch lines’ that Beeching destroyed, taking away. Peoples livelihood, transport and connections to other areas!

Keyboard Krazy if it had’nt been Beeching, it would have been someone else. Still, it is a dammed shame, that’s for sure.

The S&D will rise again!

I suspect not, the original freight use of the line declined and died, and the rural locations simply don't justify an expensive new railway line.

Liked and subbed!

Can you upload more videos of the Somerset and Dorset Railway? I think they are missing parts of this program.
