Editors Notes


This is the time of year when most preserved railways are closed. Note the word 'most', I have checked the web and can report that there are a number of railways running a weekend service. So if you want to visit a railway see the list below.

 

Saturday, Sunday and half term school holiday service: Mid-Hants Railway, Bluebell Railway, Midland Railway, Severn Valley Railway, Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

 

Saturday and Sunday service: Great Central Railway, East Lancashire Railway.

 

Sunday service: Lavender Line, Peak Rail, Tanfield Railway.


Some of the railways will not be running steam trains, if this is important check their website.

 

G.P.B.


 

 

Only railways that run steam trains on a regular basis have been included. All lines have a minimum of one mile of track and one station.

 

Not all trains will be hauled by steam locomotives, many railways use diesel power in off peak periods. Please check with the company concerned if you must travel by steam train.


If you decide to visit one of the railways go to their web site for the latest information. Many have talking timetables which will give details of the service to be provided in the coming period. Note that  telephone lines will probably only be answered when trains are running.

We have tried to indicate the days a railway is operating a service but some have a variable timetable so you must check with the organization to confirm trains are running on a certain day.

 

Special event days will probably be a different price to the one indicated. 

 

We cannot be responsible for any inaccuracies, please email us if you find anything that is incorrect.
