masbury musings

The latest figure for money raised to purchase Masbury is £29,300. It's a tidy sum but there's still a long way to go!

I think we need to be proactive - all of us. We need to look at ways to raise money individually and also make sure as many people as possible know what is happening.

I'm not one for saying 'this is our only chance'. But it is our best chance and to have Masbury saved forever for rail use will be a huge step towards getting the S&D back.

Progress at Spetisbury, Midford, Midsomer Norton, Shillingstone and Gartell continues. The S&D is coming alive all along its route - and it would be great to see activity up on the Mendips!

So start spreading the message and keep thinking of ways to raise money for the station. We are part of the way there, but there's still a lot to do!

spetisbury looking great!

Spetisbury is looking great with clearing continuing apace and a real presence established (on work days) by signage and a noticeboard. I can't see it being too long before actual rebuilding takes place - what a gem this station is going to be, a real credit to the resurgent S&D and in particular to the people who are turning up weekend after weekend to actually make it happen.

We are now regularly seeing work at FIVE separate sites along the S&D.
