\A selection of photographs capturing the celebrations of the Queen being on the thone has been captured and are about to go onto the website. We follow the celebrations from the rural country of Somerset into the capital city of London and capture the atmosphere of a very royal event that only Britons can do best!
The Longest Heritage Railway in England also arranged for a train to run for a week over the celebrations call the Jubilee Express. This first of it type.
More information is available on the following link:
‘The train, decorated in the traditional style of “celebration” trains in the days when steam ruled the railways will leave Bishops Lydeard, near Taunton” at 11.05 each day and will arrive at Minehead at 12.25 where the locomotive will be turned on the turntable. The return journey leaves Minehead at 15.05 and is due to arrive at Bishops Lydeard at 16.40. There is no need to pre-book seats on the “Jubilee Express” and tickets can be purchased on the day of travel at the stations.’ – Extract from West Somerset Railway
