Rare old train film comes to light

The Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway is fondly remembered as a bit of a shambles.

It was an unusual independent light railway which linked the three North Somerset coastal towns.

First planned in 1844, it opened in 1897 and closed in 1940.

Some rare video and old photos have now been brought together in a DVD celebrating its history.
