Ivatt class 2 Tank No. 41313
The West Somerset Railway has announced its first guest for their three-day Autumn Steam Weekend from the 25th to the 27th September 2026.
Ivatt 2-6-2 Tank No. 41313, which is based on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and is currently on tour across the mainland, will be returning to West Country metals.
Following completion in 1952, No. 41313 was based in the West Country on the Southern Region under British Railways.
The class 2 was no stranger to the handful of lines that used to be spread right across Devon and North Cornwall, commonly known as the Withered Arm.
The locomotive spent time at Exmouth and Barnstable sheds and worked many Southern Region branch lines in the South West of England before being withdrawn in 1965.
Following a spell in Barry Scrapyard, the locomotive is now based on the Isle of Wight and returned to steam in 2017.

Hest Bank Signal Box
A former 1958-built signal box on the West Coast Main Line has been repurposed to serve as a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics classroom for young students.
The type 15 signal box signalled trains and controlled the neighbouring level crossing on one of the UK’s major main lines for 55 years before being taken out of service in 2023 following a re-signalling programme.
Fast forward three years, and the signal box has now become known as ‘Box on The Bay’, and has the latest project to be completed by the multi-award-winning Leeds-Morecambe Community Rail Partnership, also known as The Bentham Line.

Amelia about to perform the opening ceremony
Opened on the 10th of July 2026, by Network Rail’s Infrastructure Maintenance Delivery Manager, Amelia Routledge, with other guests from the rail industry, students and staff from St. Peter’s Church of England Primary School, Heysham, enjoyed taking part in the first lessons and activities held within this unique classroom.
The lessons included railway safety and bridge construction.
The signal box also has real-time train information, which can be followed live.
Schools within the local area of the Bentham Line are being encouraged to join the ‘Box on the Bay’ and should contact the Leeds-Morecambe Community Rail Partnership.
“A first-of-its-kind project. It was really exciting to see the decommissioned signal box turn into an educational centre that the communities can use and benefit from”.
Amelia Routledge Infrastructure Maintenance Delivery Manager at Network Rail
“it has been a genuine pleasure to work together with Network Rail North West and Central to create this unique space for education about the railway and Morecambe Bay”. “I would also like to express my sincere thanks to the train operators Avanti West Coast, TransPennine Express, Northern and CrossCountry for creating a community funding pot and for offering in-kind support for the project”.
