West Somerset Railway builds accommodation for helpers


A Somerset tourist attraction is taking drastic action to help some of its volunteers who are struggling with record petrol prices.

Minehead's West Somerset Railway is building a new accommodation block to give shelter to those who are finding it too expensive to fill up their car.

"We're having to look very carefully at how we can support these volunteers," said general manager Paul Conibeare.

"A lot live a long way away so the cost of petrol is having a big impact.

"If people do come over they can stay overnight at virtually no cost, rather than have to hire a caravan or stay in a hotel."
