The West Somerset is set to reopen on Saturday 22nd May, initially between Bishops Lydeard & Williton only as trackwork will continue on other sections of the line including the major undertaking of replacing the Seaward Way Level Crossing at Minehead. The WSR hopes to later extend some services through Wachet to Blue Anchor (these could be Saturdays only) and, once the level crossing work has been completed, train services could resume over the full length of the line from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead, potentially during July.

It had already been suggested that the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway would reopen on Saturday 17th April, but it is now confirmed. Tickets are now on sale for the first K&WVR trains starting in just over 2 weeks time.

The Welsh government have announced the next stages for the easing of lockdown restrictions and the new dates allow for outdoor attractions to open from 26th April. This means that the Bala Lake Railway's planned reopening date of 10th April has had to be postponed - the new reopening date is now set for Saturday 1st May.
