Film - The Station Master - Shot at Stogumber Station on the West Somerset Railway

Award winning short film. 

A lonely Station Master at a remote, rural outpost encounters a woman stranded overnight at his station, and after some hesitation, invites her to spend the night in the warmth of his humble home. This unexpected encounter reawakens the Station Master’s enthusiasm for life as the two talk long into the night, but in the morning, when her train arrives, will she leave along with his heart? 


The Station Master



The locomotive is from the former Somerset and Dorset Railway. If you do any of your shopping at Sainsbury in Bridgwater, your feet are on the site of the S & D Bridgwater North station.
