Static exhibits at Bishops Lydeard station

[mp01]

As the title suggests, are there any static exhibits at Bishops Lydeard station?

Thanks.

Not really no, there's the model railway indoors and a couple of carriages in the station or dotted around the yard. There's a running shed next to the station which can have a loco or two but not on display as such. Most stuff is at Williton or Minehead and there's the S&DJR museum at Washford. Hope that helps.

Thank you, that's helpful.

Often a fair bit of vintage coaching stock is stabled there, and the odd loco, but not actually on display as such.
The sidings are not open to the public, though IME an exception is sometimes made if you look sensible, ask nicely, and offer a donation towards railway funds.
A partial view may be obtained from the car park, and with a long lens or binoculars a fairly good view from the public road where it crosses the line on a bridge.

Exceptionally, the odd train runs from Bishops Lydeard to Norton halt or platform, but this is not the norm.
On such occasions a good view may had from the train of any stabled stock, and also an unusual view of the GWR main line.

I last visited Bishop's Lydeard in August 2015.

Whilst waiting for my train, I visited the museum. There weren't any locos in there, although the GWR Sleeping Car 9038 was. Also there is Powderham Signal Box, along with the Model Railway.
