SUMMARY:A 1968 Jet Search for Steam
DESCRIPTION:The introduction of “Pacesetter” fares for under-26-year-olds in 1968 made international air travel much more affordable\, and Frank Stamford – our regular Australian attendee – took advantage of them to make  a fifteen-week round the world trip in search of steam\, visiting Indonesia\, the British Isles\, Western Europe (from Portugal to West Germany)\, and South Africa\, at a time when such long distance international travel was something exceptional. His presentation will include some industrial railways as well as public railways. And there will be very few diesel locomotives!\n \nFor this virtual event\, you will require a ticket.

SUMMARY:Over The Mendips
DESCRIPTION:The Somerset & Dorset Railway originally ran from Burnham-on-Sea to Wimborne\, \nlinking the Bristol and English Channels. In 1874 an extension opened from \nEvercreech Junction over the Mendip Hills to link with the Midland Railway at Bath \nwhich immediately became the main line. Passenger trains included through \nexpresses from the Midlands and North to the South Coast until 1962\, freight saw \ncoal and stone from the Mendip collieries and quarries\, before finally closing as a \nthrough route in 1966. This illustrated talk marks 150 years since the Bath \nextension’s opening and contains a selection of historic pictures showing the \nconstruction\, doubling and operation of the line from the archives of the Somerset & \nDorset Railway Trust as well as images of the infrastructure still remaining along the \nroute. \nThe presenter\, Mike Beale is descended from 3 generations of S&D railwaymen\, was \nborn in Bath and has worked for British Rail and an international railway consultant. \nHe has been a member of the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust since 1974\, was \nchairman from 1985 to 1991 and a Trustee from 1999 until 2016. \n
