Most West Somerset Railway stations have small areas but the main retail outlets for visitors to the line are the shops at Bishops Lydeard (direct line 01823 432125) and Minehead (direct line 01643 700387).  Bishops Lydeard carries a wide range of models on it shelves whilst Minehead sells second-hand models and railwayana on a commission basis. Both have many transport books, dvds, plus WSR –specific items.  The Minehead shop also has an increasing number of the items which it stocks available via this website.

For that “difficult to know what to get him” relative or friend West Somerset Railway Gift Vouchers may be the ideal answer. They can be purchased in multiples of £5.00 (and there is no upper limit!) and can be exchanged for goods at the Bishops Lydeard and Minehead shops or for tickets for a day’s outing on the Railway. You can purchase these by calling 01643 704996

Or if you are looking for a gift to mark that very special birthday or event such as a retirement it is always worth remembering that once upon a time most boys (and quite a few girls) wanted to be engine drivers. Why not look at our Steam Engineman Courses section of this website?
