Looks right at home on the line surely one set has to be preserved to compliment the old DMU units

That will depend on costs and repairs so far two have gone after repairs were not authorised

I agree. I'm sure the diesel guys at Williton would love to have one.

I'm sure there'll be another opportunity. Maybe not with a Castle Class (I don't know if any have been preserved), but hopefully a proper HST set with slam shut doors.

A bit surprised by the state of the WSR permanent way. Looks as if it could do with some serious wrok to bring it up to scratch. Is that down to the financial hit from the Covid Pandemic?
@steamtothewest-trecanrail

I think it is a combination of a financial hit and the fact that the WSR is run by 4 groups, who are apparently not the most cooperative, plus the track bed is owned by the council.

Even the national network is the same. Nothing good about it and is unlike railways used to be. It needs sorting.
