The UK's main railway lines are set to operate passenger services again after being closed for 60 years.
The Bristol route from Portisched opened in 1867 and then closed in 1964 as part of a massive culling known as Beeching Cut.
Richard Beasing is the chairman of the UK Railway Board and has ordered thousands of miles of railway and station axes to make the country's network more efficient.
Now, a battle has been born that has been raging for a quarter century to resume the West Country Route.
England's West Mayor Dan Norris confirmed that a project to re-operate the line will begin in the summer.
Two stations will be built as part of the £152 million reopening project.
These will be portished and pills.
It comes after hopes of revival of the Line last year, as it was funded based on the restoration of the Railway Fund.
However, the scheme was cancelled last summer after the labor government took over power.
But now it has been confirmed that the final installment of £30 million has been confirmed at the UK Mayor's Joint Bureau Committee meeting in March to ensure things arrive in March.
More than £152 million in cash pots have been contributed by the government, the Western English authorities, and the North Somerset Council.
The final gap is set to be filled by the National Infrastructure Fund.
Norris said reopening the line would be a “really important” step for residents.
He added: An important quest for Net Zero. ”
