TAKE A CAPTIVATING RAIL JOURNEY ON A FLIGHT OF THE IMAGINATION on the 17.42 evening commuter service from Bath Green Park to Evercreech Junction, calling at all stations, circa mid 1980s.

In 1966 steam services were withdrawn from the Somerset and Dorset and replaced with diesel locomotion by British Rail.
