- Summer Diesel Festival 2026
Thursday 4 June to Saturday 6 June 2026
Join us for our much-loved annual celebration of all things Diesel, our Summer Diesel Festival, which this year runs between Thursday 4th to Saturday 6th of June. If you love Diesels, this is the place to be!
You can expect to experience a feast of Diesel action, which will include multiple visiting locomotives and our faithful home locomotives, all working hard hauling a variety of services through the Quantock Hills and along the Bristol Channel.
This year, the event is particularly special, as we celebrate our 50th anniversary of the railway. At the event, we will have a selection of Diesel types that have had a connection with the WSR over the years.
We will be operating an intensive timetable on all three days, allowing you to hop from train to train to travel behind all of your favourite locomotives and enjoy a truly thrashtastic day behind some of the best heritage Diesel traction available. Some trains will continue past Bishops Lydeard and run to the very southern end of our line at Norton Fitzwarren, utilising a stretch of line that is very rarely used for passenger trains!
On Sunday 7th of June, we will hold a Mixed Traction Day. This will be an extention to our Summer Diesel Festival, with a mixture of steam and Diesel locomotives hauling passenger trains.
The Williton Depot Centre of the DEPG will be open over the event. Admission is by donation, which helps the Group to maintain and restore the fleet of vintage machines.
