Heart of Wessex Line

The Heart of Wessex Line, also known as the Bristol to Weymouth Line, is a railway line that runs from Bristol Temple Meads to Westbury to Weymouth in England. It shares the Wessex Main Line as far as Westbury and then follows the course of the Reading to Taunton Line as far as Castle Cary.

History

Places served

The cities, towns and villages served by this route are listed below:

  • Bristol
  • Keynsham
  • Bath
  • Freshford
  • Avoncliff
  • Bradford on Avon
  • Trowbridge
  • Westbury
  • Frome
  • Bruton
  • Castle Cary
  • Yeovil
  • Thornford
  • Yetminster
  • Chetnole
  • Maiden Newton
  • Dorchester
  • Upwey
  • Weymouth
  • Operator

    Passenger services are currently operated by Great Western Railway. Most services originate from Bristol Temple Meads, or from Westbury. However some services originate from towns and cities beyond Bristol such as Gloucester, Cheltenham and Great Malvern.

    Rolling stock

    Services are provided on Sprinter diesel multiple unit trains built during the late 1980s and 1990s, typically of 2 or 3 coach Class 150, with some Class 158 trains. During the summers of 2008 - 2010 an additional southbound morning and northbound evening train were added to the Saturday timetable to cope with demand between the cities and the seaside resort of Weymouth. This consists of five British Railways Mark 2 coaches hauled by a modern Class 67 (or, on special occasions, 1960s Class 37) diesel locomotive.

    Wessex

    Wessex (/ˈwɛsks/; Old English: Westseaxna rīce, "kingdom of the West Saxons") was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in the south of Great Britain, from 519 until England was unified by Æthelstan in the early 10th century.

    The Anglo-Saxons believed that Wessex was founded by Cerdic and Cynric, but this may be legend. The two main sources for the history of Wessex are the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List, which sometimes conflict. Wessex became a Christian kingdom after Cenwalh was baptised and was expanded under his rule. Cædwalla later conquered Sussex, Kent and the Isle of Wight. His successor, Ine, issued one of the oldest surviving English law codes and established a second West Saxon bishopric. The throne subsequently passed to a series of kings with unknown genealogies.

    During the 8th century, as the hegemony of Mercia grew, Wessex largely retained its independence. It was during this period that the system of shires was established. Under Egbert, Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Essex, and Mercia, along with parts of Dumnonia, were conquered. He also obtained the overlordship of the Northumbrian king. However, Mercian independence was restored in 830. During the reign of his successor, Æthelwulf, a Danish army arrived in the Thames estuary, but was decisively defeated. When Æthelwulf's son, Æthelbald, usurped the throne, the kingdom was divided to avoid war. Æthelwulf was succeeded in turn by his four sons, the youngest being Alfred the Great.

    Wessex (disambiguation)

    Wessex was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in early medieval England.

    Wessex or West Saxon may also refer to:

  • Wessex Archaeology – an educational charity and the largest UK archaeological practice,
  • Wessex culture a name given to the predominant prehistoric culture of southern Britain during the early Bronze Age
  • Early West Saxon the Germanic dialect spoken by the West Saxons following Anglo-Saxon settlement
  • Late West Saxon the language usually known as Old English
  • Thomas Hardy's Wessex a semi-fictional region of England in the novels of Thomas Hardy
  • Westland Wessex a helicopter
  • Earl of Wessex
  • Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex a British prince and current earl, and
  • Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward's wife, the Countess
  • Wessex (European Parliament constituency), a former constituency covering Dorset and part of Hampshire and Wiltshire
  • Wessex, Ontario, Canada, a fictitious city in the Canadian sitcom Dan for Mayor
  • Morningside Place, Houston

    Morningside Place is a subdivision located in Houston, Texas, United States.

    The subdivision is not to be confused with Morningside Place, a development in southern unincorporated Harris County, Texas outside Beltway 8 which uses "Houston" addresses.

    History

    The subdivision began in September 1999 when the Bliss Court, Brantwood, Carolina Place, Wessex, and Windermere subdivisions joined into one organizational entity.

    In 2001 the civic association received $5,000 matching grant funds from the Matching Grant Program of the City of Houston Planning and Development Department. The funds were used to install a decorative lighting system on Morningside Street, consisting of several wrought iron, old-style light poles. The association obtained the poles from Houston Lighting & Power for $12,000. Patrick Reynolds of the Houston Chronicle said "[t]he globes will cast a soft, frosted glow onto Morningside."

    Cityscape

    The community, located east of Kirby Drive, is located between Southgate and the City of West University Place. It is in proximity to the Texas Medical Center, Rice University, and Rice Village. In 1999 Katherine Feser of the Houston Chronicle said that the location was one of the "selling points" of the Windermere community.

    • Before There Was An England: The History of Wessex in the 9th Century

      In this one I take a look at the fortunes of the Kingdom of Wessex before the time of Alfred the Great and the Great Heathen Army of 865. First of all I'll take a look at King Ecgberht (802-839) who shattered the Mercian Supremacy at the Battle of Ellandun in 825 and cemented West-Saxon control over all the Anglo-Saxon lands south of the Thames. Following this I'll also delve into the reign of his son King Æthelwulf (839-858) and his response to the Viking incursions as well as what information can be gleaned about the nature of the West-Saxon Kingdom and its relationship with Mercia during the time.

    • The History of Wessex

      Around 495 CE, a Saxon chieftain named Cerdic arrived in Britain, and by 519 CE had established the Kingdom of the West Saxons (Wessex). During the 6th Century, his successors continued to expand against local Celtic kingdoms. By the 7th Century, the now Christian kingdom was competing with another Anglo-Saxon Kingdom, Mercia, for supremacy. This continued during the 8th Century, as the kingdom fell under Mercian lordship several times. Weakened by Dane raids in the 9th Century, Mercia lost supremacy to Wessex. The kingdom lead the defense of Britain as the last independent Anglo-Saxon Kingdom, under King Alfred the Great. From 902 CE, Alfred's son, Edward the Elder, would reconquer all Dane territory in Britain except York, which finally fell in 927 CE to Edward's son, Æthelstan, who be...

    Before There Was An England: The History of Wessex in the 9th Century

    In this one I take a look at the fortunes of the Kingdom of Wessex before the time of Alfred the Great and the Great Heathen Army of 865. First of all I'll take a look at King Ecgberht (802-839) who shattered the Mercian Supremacy at the Battle of Ellandun in 825 and cemented West-Saxon control over all the Anglo-Saxon lands south of the Thames. Following this I'll also delve into the reign of his son King Æthelwulf (839-858) and his response to the Viking incursions as well as what information can be gleaned about the nature of the West-Saxon Kingdom and its relationship with Mercia during the time.

    Heart of Wessex Line

    The Heart of Wessex Line, also known as the Bristol to Weymouth Line, is a railway line that runs from Bristol Temple Meads to Westbury to Weymouth in England. It shares the Wessex Main Line as far as Westbury and then follows the course of the Reading to Taunton Line as far as Castle Cary.

    History

    Places served

    The cities, towns and villages served by this route are listed below:

  • Bristol
  • Keynsham
  • Bath
  • Freshford
  • Avoncliff
  • Bradford on Avon
  • Trowbridge
  • Westbury
  • Frome
  • Bruton
  • Castle Cary
  • Yeovil
  • Thornford
  • Yetminster
  • Chetnole
  • Maiden Newton
  • Dorchester
  • Upwey
  • Weymouth
  • Operator

    Passenger services are currently operated by Great Western Railway. Most services originate from Bristol Temple Meads, or from Westbury. However some services originate from towns and cities beyond Bristol such as Gloucester, Cheltenham and Great Malvern.

    Rolling stock

    Services are provided on Sprinter diesel multiple unit trains built during the late 1980s and 1990s, typically of 2 or 3 coach Class 150, with some Class 158 trains. During the summers of 2008 - 2010 an additional southbound morning and northbound evening train were added to the Saturday timetable to cope with demand between the cities and the seaside resort of Weymouth. This consists of five British Railways Mark 2 coaches hauled by a modern Class 67 (or, on special occasions, 1960s Class 37) diesel locomotive.
