    — It's always annoyed me that the West Somerset Railway (Britain's longest heritage line) was prevented by what seemed like bloody-mindedness (a trade union was involved, and BR wasn't as helpful as NR is today) from connecting with the system at Taunton - particularly when there was a link used (if I recall rightly) by cider trains.
