PUBLISHER NOTE THIS IS AN UPDATED VERSION OF NO BEECHING, NO MARPLES: The perfect short story for the true Somerset and Dorset rail enthusiast. The ideal stocking filler for Christmas. TAKE A CAPTIVATING RAIL JOURNEY ON A FLIGHT OF THE IMAGINATION on the 17.42 evening commuter service from Bath Green Park to Evercreech Junction, calling at all stations, circa mid 1980s. Sounds a delightful fantasy to glide effortlessly over the Mendip Hills and dream of what may have been. In 1966 steam services were withdrawn from the Somerset and Dorset and replaced with diesel locomotion by British Rail. It opened up a brand new world, journey times were reduced with more frequent trains creating achievable connections to Bristol and London from rural Somerset for the first time. It was now possible to visit London for the day. Enjoy the journey!
