From Victorian rails to TV ambulances: two Somerset stories this weekend span 150 years
A rediscovered Castle Cary–Somerton tramway and a new ambulance documentary place Somerset's transport past and frontline present side by side.
This weekend's Somerset news pairs a Victorian-era tramway with a modern emergency-services documentary. BBC News Somerset reported that a track unearthed after 150 years is believed to be part of a line between Castle Cary and Somerton [1]. Separately, the Somerset County Gazette and Bridgwater Mercury reported that viewers will have a rare behind-the-scenes look at Somerset ambulance crews with the new series of 999: On The Front Line, which begins tonight [2][3]. Read together, the two items highlight both a long-buried piece of Somerset's transport heritage and a current on-screen view of the county's frontline response crews.
