No Train Spotting on the Stawberry Line


WADAS was approximately 40 years late on its quest (20.05.07-absentees:1) to catch the last train to Winscombe. Buttoning up anoraks and stowing away their thermos flasks the party noted the absence of track along the route. A spokesperson for WADAS commented 'is this the end of the line for rail travel from Yatton?' Moments later the passengers were plunged into darkness as they entered a tunnel lit only by LED's set into the ground. By the time the advance guard had drawn a blank locating the buffet carriage it was the moment for the return portion of our journey. Fortunately Dad's taxi was waiting to take us home.
