Go ahead MVR S&T, take the glory! I suspected a few people would know it.

Gartell Light Railway?

Correct.

Surprisingly, bearing in mind I live 5 minutes away in Templecombe, this was my first visit. I moved to Templecombe in May 2019 and didn't get the chance to visit that summer. 2020 and 2021 the GLR didn't open. So this May bank holiday was my first visit. Shoehorned in between dog/house sits in Wiltshire and, where I am now, Cumbria.

More pictures and videos from the Gartell Light Railway to follow, when I get round to it!
