Coverage from the East Somerset Railway Diesel Day featuring visiting GWR Diesel Railcar No. 22!
The sentinel shunter shed was also open to the public, with 'Joan' offering short brakevan rides within station limits, and Gronk 08704 was in action on 'driver for a tenner' duties in the capable hands of a mainline GBRF driver who offered yours truly some driving insights!
The weather made the day a great success with a packed car park and equally packed trains, great to see the East Somerset again drawing the crowds for this event and also good to see Ivatt Mogul 46447 on the comeback trail with lagging and cladding well underway! | 21.03.2026
