A thoroughly enjoyable day out at a very friendly heritage railway. All the stations are maintained to a high standard as are the coaches and locomotives. It is their credit that they are running steam despite this countries idiotic coal policies. They import their coal from Peru at exorbitant prices. The views from the train are superb as what you would expect in the Cotswolds. On the whole a great day at one of the best heritage railways in the country…

This is the product of the efforts of several hundred volunteers working over decades to present British Rail as it existed in the 1950’s. It covers 29 miles between Cheltenham Racetrack and Broadway. A restful and scene 45 minutes each way. Everything is extremely well done down to the last detail. The rail cars are not re-done, they have just been cleaned up so one can see and feel what the experience of riding BR circa 1960 was like. The station houses are, in many cases, the original structures. The volunteers, all in accurate period garb, were helpful and delighted in talking about what they have created.…

I arrived at the railway at Toddington, the main station on the line. Being disabled I was able to park very close to the station entrance which is always one of the things I need to make any visit easy for me. As this event day was forecast to be busy, I'd purchased my ticket online and had to cross over the track to get the event wristband. Access was easy crossing at track level. I managed to travel up and down the line in comfort. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The one thing I think encapsulates the day would be the lineup of engines brought together for this event. Everywhere I looked there was something to see. I think this was without doubt, the best gala I've been to in a very long time.…
