Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light Railway
The Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light Railway (WCPR) was conceived and built initially as a tramway to link the three small North Somerset coastal towns of Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon and Portishead in the 1880s.
==Overview==
It was a standard gauge light railway which operated on a shoestring. It was long with 19 stations or halts most of which had a small shelter and no platform. The line ran through sparsely-populated and level countryside. Most of the locomotives and rolling stock were bought second-hand from various sources, making a varied collection.
The section from Weston-super-Mare to Clevedon opened in 1897, and the extension to Portishead in 1907. The railway was built with economy in mind and there were no major station buildings or bridges. After years of financial struggle, the line closed on May 18, 1940.
