Te S&D was a living legend, a legendary railway in its own lifetime. To work it required footplatemen and engines of the highest expertise and efficiency. Totally grand.

KEEP UP TO DATE

You need to order it via the group at Midsomer Norton. The address is Midsomer Norton South Station, Silver Street, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2EY. Cover price is £2.95 - not sure what their policy on postage and packing is. Their website at www.sdjr.co.uk has a sales section with more info.

The Midford Station Appeal
The first aim of the New S&D will be to secure the station site at Midford and rebuild the station as a visitor information centre. This will only be the very first small step to restoring the route, but possibly the most important. As Paypal charges can be high it is better to make larger donations (£20+) by cheque wherever possible, but please feel free to use this facility for any amounts if easier! Cheques should be made payable to 'New Somerset and Dorset Railway' and sent to New S&D, Midford Station Appeal, 10 Bellamy Avenue, Hartcliffe, BRISTOL, BS13 0HW. We may be introducing a share scheme for the station so a record will be made of all donations and if a share scheme is agreed then all moneys will be allocated to doners and shares issued to the full value of donations made.
