WEST Somerset Railway is running special trains for the Dunster by Candlelight event on Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5.

And after some doubt it can confirm the trains will run non-stop from Bishops Lydeard to a stop at Dunster station before continuing to

Minehead.

Pre-booked passengers will be able to get off and board trains at either station with the option of walking to and from Dunster village for the event or taking one of the special shuttle coaches from Minehead station to Dunster. The inclusive fares cover both options, leaving the choice to the passengers on the night.

Passengers intending to use Dunster station are advised that although the road from the station towards the village is quiet it is not illuminated by street lights, so walkers should take a torch and wear some lighter-coloured clothing to aid visibility. The walking time is between 15 and 20 minutes and the final part of the walk includes the inclined Dunster Steep pavement.
