Few railways could rival the character and charm of the Somerset & Dorset, from the fierce gradients to the beautiful rolling countryside.  Memories of the Somerset and Dorset contains sixty minutes of superb archive cine film and allows us to relive the delights of a journey over this most famous of railway lines.  The DVD takes a look at the whole line and visits each of the stations in turn with lineside action in between including the branch to Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea.  The programme also features reminiscences of people who worked and travelled on the S & D.

Other highlights include an in depth look at Templecombe, some very rare shots of the remains of the original S&D line from Corfe Mullen to Wimborne and an elderly 3F shunting at Shillingstone, as well as cine film of the famous Bath Green Park station.
