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.
Midford station, which is owned by the New Somerset and Dorset Railway, is being restored as a cafe and information centre.
