Was this the archive item about the 1978 blizzard?

Days I remember very well indeed.  When the WSR had the purpose of being a useful public transport link for the people of West Somerset, and remembered all those people who queued for hours at Minehead station a couple of years earlier to buy shares that they'd been told would bring their Taunton trains back

The blizzard that very nearly killed me at the age of not yet 23
