I got the right numbers, but not necessarily for the right weeks... (Cue Andre Preview)
The two charities may decide to form a separate not-for-profit company, with directors appointed by both, to handle all the formalities here. That way, only one corporate body is involved, making the process simpler.

From the BBC» : Somerset councillor David Huxtable censured over conduct in railway bid process Somerset County Council wanted to sell the freehold of West Somerset Railway but shelved the proposal because neither bidder met the council's criteriaA politician has been censured for bringing his office into disrepute over the sale of a heritage railway.An investigation found Somerset County Council cabinet member David Huxtable breached the authority's code of conduct during the sale of West Somerset Railway's freehold. His impartiality was questioned after a Freedom of Information request released emails he shared with a bidder. The council confirmed Mr Huxtable had now resigned from his cabinet position. Two groups - the West Somerset Railway Association and West Somerset Railway Plc - bid for the railway's freehold. Mr Huxtable was to sign off the sale. However, after emails between Mr Huxtable, a Conservative, and Roger Bush from the West Somerset Railway Association were released, their relationship was described as "cosy" by fellow councillor, Mike Rigby, an independent. The emails showed various statements from Mr Huxtable including: "I would have thought Mike Rigby would be making a big mistake if he made too much of this proposed transfer of freehold. Perhaps that needs pointing out to him. The quieter this is kept, the better, and making a fuss could be construed as damaging for the railway." "I think I might open my 'media campaign' which will point out that it is not in the public interest for the Plc to hold the freehold." A standards committee hearing panel found Mr Huxtable had used his position improperly to give another person an advantage, and conducted himself in a manner which could bring the council into disrepute. Council leader John Osman said: "This is obviously a devastating outcome for a councillor who has devoted more than 30 years to public service." He described Mr Huxtable's decision to resign from his cabinet position as an "honourable step to take". The sale of West Somerset Railway's freehold is currently on hold because neither bidder met the council's criteria. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

For some years the West Somerset Railway have run special trains from Bishops Lydeard in connection with the Dunster by candlelight event.
This year, the special trains will NOT be calling at Dunster. According to the local newspaper this is due to concerns about the footpath from the station to the village being unlit!
What nonsense ! The footpath never has been lit, and most locals are well aware of this. For the benefit of visitors unaware of the lack of lighting, there is clear advice in publicity material to "bring a torch"
In previous years there has been a shuttle bus from Minehead station to Dunster village for those who don't fancy the walk. But this year the bus will be the only option for those arriving by rail. Some doubt that the bus service will be adequate for ALL those attending rather than just those who don't fancy the walk.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-36322169Steam trains have been suspended on a heritage railway after an "old military device" was found near a station.
West Somerset Railway (WSR), which runs steam and diesel trains, said services had been suspended "for safety reasons".
According to reports, the device was dislodged from a bank and rolled on to the track.
Police have cordoned off a large area near Watchet station and Brendan Road has been closed as a precaution.
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said officers were at the railway station following the discovery of "what is believed to be an old military device".
"The small device will now be examined by experts from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit," he added. Despite the talk on social media, there is no official suggestion that this is a modern act of terrorism.

It seems one has to tread carefully in this part of Somerset.
You never know what you might find, so just Watchet, okay.
