Another festive visit to this lovely railway with all 4 of my children in early December.Busy evening which is good to see,but staff still super friendly and helpful as usual despite the heavy work load as most are volunteers so I appreciate this.
Warm snug train with all the charm of Christmas however I would question some of the choice of music which could have been more festive so we can all sing …
Lovely railway and we all enjoyed the evening trip with the train looking super dressed in lights.We especially loved meeting Brunel …the dog.Well done all

Went on the Santa Express trip from Bishop Lidleard to Williton. We had Father Christmas and elves on the train which was fun. On each table there was a selection of biscuit, small bottles of wine, water and fruit drinks, all children got Christmas presents. The presents looked to be of good quality. All staff throughout the experience were very friendly and helpful. Great to travel in a steam train with authentic coaches bringing back memories of time long past. Very pleasant countryside was viewed on route. A great pre-Christmas treat.

I payed for myself and my partner to have a lovely relaxing hot chocolate and a cookie on board whilst we looked at the winter lights on a cosy steam train (that’s what I imagined anyway)
Positive feedback- it was very well organised and planned out well. There was heating which was nice. The outside of the train looked great.
Negative feedback - As explained above, I imagined being served a lush hot chocolate with cream on top and a nice cookie on the side whilst on our journey, but what a disappointment we both felt when we walked in to an overcrowded, loud and dingy marquee where there was no place to sit. We were told to arrive 45 minutes earlier but said there were gifts to shop around for whilst you wait to be called. We were disappointed in the tiny selection of gifts in the corner that had no interest for us. Our biggest disappointment was realising that the ‘heart warming hot chocolate and cookie’ I imagined being served on the train was being served inside the marquee in a takeaway cup that tasted like water!! And the double chocolate cookie that I picked up are the 50p cheap ones you buy in petrol stations! I payed £10 for 2 of these. Absolute rip off.
When we go onto the train we were hoping that the 40 minutes waiting around and drinking crappy hot chocolate and cheap cookie we thought it must we worth it. We were so disappointed again - they played dance music the whole way!!!!! What the hell!! This is meant to be a Christmas experience! It was annoying us at this point. It was good music but not what you want to hear when your on a Christmas train trying to look at the Christmas lights- not that there were much lights to look at… we came across only 3 sections on our side of hanging stars … I’m sure a little more effort could have gone in to the lights…. It felt like more of an effort was made for the audience who hadn't paid to look at the wonderfully decorated train as it goes past. Little did they know they probably seen more lights on the train than we did sat in it……
I’m sorry but it was just our honest experience. My partner was just glad that he didn’t have to pay for it. Haha.

Me and my family always have an amazing day out here! We live locally and come here to visit often with the grandchildren. We recently travelled to Minehead Christmas market and enjoyed the wonderful views along the way. Fabulous staff and very attentive.

We went on this lovely steam train from Bishops Lydeard to the Minehead Christmas market. We were very fortunate at this time of year to have cold bright weather to view all the lovely scenery en route. We had paid for a hamper to accompany our journey which was filled with lovely goodies. The staff are all very helpful and the whole day was well planned and we very much enjoyed our day trip to Minehead which looked lovely in the bright sunshine.

This has been on my to do list for a long time and it was interesting to compare it with Severn Valley and North Yorkshire Moors. Severn Valley comes out on top for views, facilities and other things to visit. Quite a lot of the journey is in cuttings, so not so much to see.
At £30 a head it is a bit overpriced, as is £4.%0 for a pastie. No OAP reductions
Still, it is the longest in the country and it s relaxing way to travel.

First time travelling the railway, and definitely not disappointed. Friendly and helpful volunteer staff. Stations, trains, and locos are all appropriately painted, and restored. Beautiful Somerset intermediate stations. We went mid week, so plenty of seats, and no crowding, but I am sure could be very popular on events days.

We stay at Dunster Beach each year and usually spend a day on the railway taking up a day rover ticket in the process.
Due to the weather this year we decided to skip our annual trip.
We did however walk along Dunster Beach into Blue Anchor, we had a lovely chat with the gentleman who I'm guessing was station master for the day and the lady who was weeding both were able to shows us pictures from the previous Sunday where the line was flooded at the station, thank you to these two lovely people for giving up their time in discussion, we enjoyed the chat so much we decided to take the train back to Dunster and enjoyed the travel that short distance, even for better our youngest dog had got over his fear of the big green monsters, thank you to all at the WSR for all you do especially the wonderful volunteers who give up so much time for free and to help maintain the traditions of our past

There is no discount on special services for disabled. Normally a carer goes free.
I see no OAP concession on the Web site.

I would like to know how much an adult & senior return train ticket from Williton to Watchet is, please.
The website is saying £30.00 for an adult ticket, that can't possibly be correct can it?

I think the best thing to do on trips that do not cover the entire line is to contact the railway direct. It’s really a wonderful railway …

They run on a limited time table up to 31st October, there is a winter steam special over Christmas 4 days then they will open up around March next year, easiest thing is to check out their Web site for all timetables, costs special events etc

In December, what is the typical schedule for Festive Trains? Alternatively, when will the Festive Trains timetable be posted on WSR’s website? Is it feasible to make a day of it riding from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead and back during the shortened winter days? Especially if traveling from Bath.

Don’t know about Xmas but you can easily do that trip in the shorter days
