Not to mention Taunton - Minehead
After all, the people of West Somerset have only been waiting 55 years so far
One particular resident of Minehead has indeed been remarkably patient. However, I think he takes a much broader view.
CfN.

Most of that in traffic!

A blueprint for, amongst others, Bodmin General-Parkway, and Kingswaer-Paignton perhaps?

I like that ... but yet the Severn Valley does not use any Network Rails track, nor do the Bodnin or Kingswear suggestions. Others similar are services to Chinnor and Wallingford. Running onto Network Rail lines - Minehead and Swanage, please.

From Facebook
A trial train service that will enable passengers from Bewdley to connect onto services to and from Birmingham or Worcester has been announced. The trial will run for eight weeks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 September. A heritage DMU will leave Bewdley at 0640 and 0740 for Kidderminster Town station to enable passengers to transfer to Kidderminster station for onward travel on the main line. In the evening, the heritage DMU will leave Kidderminster Town at 1745 and 1850 for Bewdley.
If this is successful, a submission will be made to DfTO to operate a regular service to and from Bewdley. West Midlands Safari Park has expressed an interest in providing links from these services to the Safari Park if the trial proves successful
