To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of the East Somerset Railway a rather large and well organised event was arranged. Merehead depot was open to the public where various attractions took place including steam hauled rides, freight train demonstrations and static displays. The adjacent Torr Quarry was open for guided bus tours, whilst there was a shuttle service operating between Westbury and Cranmore using 59001 and 66200 which then allowed users to either link up with the East Somerset Railway, or view the other events via shuttle bus.
