Had a fabulous day out on Saturday 17th December on the Santa Express. Our 3 year old grand-daughter loved meeting Santa and he was excellent with her. We were very impressed with all of Santa's helpers at Cheltenham and Winchcombe, as well as those on board the train. Their positive, friendly attitude and willingness to help was highly commendable, particularly as it was freezing cold yet, as volunteers, they went out of their way to make our day special. The snow on the ground just added to the magic of the day. Thank you for a wonderful experience and Merry Christmas to you all. We will be back!!

We were staying at the adjacent campsite of the Caravan and Motorhome Club and took the train to Cheltenham to meet some friends for lunch, At £25 each the tickets were more than we expected but I suppose everything has gone up recently. A nice man in the cafe told us that "Mary" was a first-class coach so we boarded that one and it was exceptionally comfortable with upholstered seating and a table with a lamp that was working. We enjoyed coffee from the onboard cafe and relaxed to appreciate the marvellous views on both sides of the track. The staff were all mega helpful and enthusiastic and altogether it made a great day out. On the drive back to Wales my wife said that she would love to take the train again another day.

What a brilliant experience for all the family. Really loved this big dose of nostalgia and the enthusiasm from the volunteers who run this bit of railway. It isn't a cheap day out but it is totally worth it. We bought the rover tickets at £25 each and had lots of fun hanging out the windows, talking to staff, admiring the different stations drinking tea, and then doing the same again in reverse ...! The website doesn't have enough information but the brochure Your Day Out has history and lots of ideas about where to grab a bite along the way. We took the steam train but diesel powered trains also operate on same line.

We bought the rover ticket so we could travel over the whole line and get off at all stations. Brilliant trip, Toddington is the best stop as there is more to see here with railway buildings dotted around housing vintage toys and things from the past in collections. Don't bother getting of at Chleltenham and visiting the town. We thought it wuld be like Bath but is just a tatty run down place town like any other with cheap shops and bookies. The back roads have beautiful Georgian houses worth seeing but the town is a mess. Broadway has beautiful Cotswold buildings but overpriced pubs and houseware shops full of grey stuff. Best place to eat and drink is at the station cafes.

Cheerful and friendly volunteers dressed in very smart uniforms greeting you with warm welcomes and an enthusiastic attitude to hospitality. Fantastic experience on the railway from Winchcombe to Broadway and back. Very smooth rides with a brief stop at Toddington, delightful countryside views. Enjoyed drinks and snacks at the cafes in both waiting rooms at both ends of our journey. Staff came out of the cafe and booking office to wave as you departed the station.

My sister and I visited the GWSR in Broadway. It was like going back in time to another era at the railway station, it looked so authentic with the old style posters. It was our first visit there even though we live in nearby Honeybourne, so it's local to us. We ate in the station refreshment room (very posh) before taking the train. The ride itself was wonderful, lovely scenic Cotswolds views along the way although I didn't like the long, dark Greet tunnel we went through on the way there and back. We stopped at Cheltenham Racecourse station and had a walk where we had a brief look at the iconic racecourse, then back on the train and passed through many stations on the way back to Broadway itself. We had dinner in the refreshment room, the refreshment staff were very polite, then taking many photos of the steam engine before going back home. The lovely weather made for a nice day out. We plan to return later in the year.

We visited the railway for the Fish and Chip Special evening train. There was a host for each carriage and ours was very friendly and helpful. Food was served at Winchcombe and then carried on to Cheltenham where I've cream dessert was then served as you watched the train run round. Food was excellent, a very enjoyable evening.

My wife and I went with a friend who had never been on this railway before. It was a brilliant experience just as previously. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the trains and stations are kept in beautiful condition and the tour of the sheds at Toddington was excellent.

I don’t normally write reviews but on this occasion I felt I wanted to. My family and I have been visiting the railway for a number of years and visited various events and always had a wonderful time. We are however disappointed over the last couple of years as there seems to be far less events for families to enjoy than there used to be … no food fayre ( one of our favs) no war weekend, no Thomas days , no Santa special from Toddington ( my parents used to take our children) we have to travel to Cheltenham to park. Would love to know if any of these well loved events would be coming back ? As other railways all run the Thomas days and peppa pig days etc so sad that it seems to have gone down hill in recent years.

For my eldest brother's 80th birthday we arranged a surprise trip on a steam train. He was delighted and it was a great day out for all six of us, my brother's wife, my twin brother and his wife and my wife and myself. We went from Cheltenham race course Broadway, a lovely journey. Everything was spotless, the carriages, the stations and the trains were impressive. The people working on the railway were smart, helpful and very welcoming. A great experience and a great day out. Thank you.
