Britain's railway heritage

Britiain's railway heritage


A lot of history

Of the lines listed on this page, the only ones I've actually travelled on are the Settle and Carlisle (still part of the commercial network, uniquely on this page), the Ffestiniog and the Snowdon Mountain railways but I've also visited the Didcot Railway Centre and Leicester North station at the southern end of the Great Central Railway. The list below is by no means complete although I think I've included all the most important and famous lines. Please contact me if you'd like to tell me about websites that ought to be linked, or about corrections to existing links, via the link in my Blogger profile page (unless you've already got my e-mail address, in which case you can use it instead if you prefer). If I've missed a good link, I'll be happy to include it.
