The West Somerset Railway has announced that LMS Jubilee No. 45596 Bahamas will visit them for their Spring Steam Gala.

Taking place between the 2nd and 5th May 2025, the gala will play a part in the Railway 200 Celebrations, showcasing Victorian locomotives right up to the 2004 built No. 9351.

45596 appears thanks to the Bahamas Locomotive Society and will be the first visit of a Jubilee to a WSR Gala and the first time the class has worked on the Minehead branch past Bishops Lydeard.

More visitors are planned, but tickets are already available over on the West Somerset Railway website.
