Not strictly Bridgwater, but, well, I thought it was relevant to place it here.
A few miles north of Bridgwater the line passes Brent Knoll, and at 14.33 DRS Class 37s nos. 37682 & 37229 "Jonty Jarvis 8-12-1998 to 18-3-2005" are in charge of the 6M67 13.02 Bridgwater to Crewe Basford Hall nuclear flask train, as they pass the a pond on the edge of a residential property adjacent to the line. This section of the railway is flat, and rather challenging for photography. But if you look, you can sometimes find a way of making the image a little more interesting. Both locomotives have since been scrapped.
