The New Somerset and Dorset Railway, formed in early 2009, aims to restore the complete line of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway as a modern transport system for the 21st century. The group also has a heritage aspect, to encourage future use by steam specials, etc. Work is currently (December 2017) concentrated on five sites, Midford - Midsomer Norton - Gartell - Shillingstone - Spetisbury.[1] Some of these are operated by independent groups.
