West Somerset Railway is to get a huge cash injection that could get it back on track. MP Ian Liddell-Graingers says the £865,000 Government grant could prove to be the life-saver the WSR desperately needs.

He said the grant should help the railway company make an early return to normal services on the 22-mile line between Minehead and Bishop’s Lydeard.

The full report will be in next Friday’s Free Press.
