Description: Contents for issue 283 (Winter 2016):Bath Green Park 1957 - every Summer Saturday movement: Keith Pfrangley of the Blandford Railway Club has compiled a table of every movement that took place on a Summer Saturday at Bath Green Park. Compiled from a variety of sources, the listing shows just how busy the station and surrounding facilities were at the height of the Summer season. The article is complemented with a selection of photos from the Trust's archive.Attempts to re-open the S&D: During the research for his book 'S&D Swansong', Bob Bunyar discovered various attempts to re-open the S&D, starting before most of the track had been lifted. This article tells the story, right up into the Network Rail era.Bailey Gate - from staffed station to oblivion in just a few years: Photos by the wife of former station staff member Charlie Stroud help tell the story of the station and its traffic from just before withdrawal of passenger services right through to demolition of the road bridge and building of the new road.Commemorative events coverage: Extensive photos of many of the Trust's events from the highly successful commemorative programme marking 50 years since closure.The Sunset Shuttle: The Trust's Peckett 'Kilmersdon' and our fully restored 1886 S&D Coach No. 4 travelled out from Minehead to Blue Anchor with fare-paying passengers during the Autumn gala in October - the first time with passengers beyond the Minehead station limits.73054 on the Whit Monday excursion, 1965: Further photos of this locomotive where the partial cleaning by an unofficial schoolboy team (as related in issues 278 and 282) can be seen to good effect.S&D stations - Bason Bridge: Often thought of as just a wayside platform, but as David Grimwood relates, a variety of freight traffic gave this station a surprisingly important role.
