Michael Portillo’s programme “Great British Railway Journeys” was broadcast on Thursday but it is still available on iplayer.
Michael described Stogumber Station as ‘picturesque’ and ‘barely to have changed since Sharp’s time (Edwardian period)’.
Here are a few stills from the programme. Michael aboard the train from Bishop’s Lydeard.

Great British Railways Journeys
The programme, which was partly filmed on the WSR, will be shown on Thursday 11 January on BBC2 at 6 30 pm.
The programme is entitled “Taunton to Newton Abbot” and the advertisement states “Michael Portillo is led a merry dance in Stogumber – all in the name of fertility”. A short sequence was filmed at Stogumber Station which we hope is retained in the final version.
