The future of a heritage railway is in doubt after the company made a trading loss of more than £800,000. The annual report of West Somerset Railway, seen by the BBC, shows this compares with a profit last year of £12,000. Its author, auditors AC Mole, questioned the company's ability to 'continue as a going concern'.
