The Pretty Route to Weston The Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light Railway has been described as one of Britain's most unusual lines. It even advertised
'Blackberry Picking Specials' and spent most of its working life in the hands of the official receiver.
Managed by the legendary Colonel Stephens, the line had a genius for muddling through, but closed soon after the outbreak of the Second World War.
Gwyn Richards recalls the line's hey-day with the help of former passengers, staff and an '0' gauge model.
