Choose a line or destination below. Each guide brings together the places, background and practical questions for that journey. Every one of them links the operator rather than quoting a fare, because fares change and a stale price is worse than none - you shouldn’t have to wonder whether we’ve kept up, so check current operating dates and booking details with the railway before travelling.
The reading, in order
9 pages sit in this stage, and they are meant to be read in this order rather than picked over: Polar Express train rides UK, The Jacobite and Glenfinnan, The Settle to Carlisle line, The Severn Valley Railway, Pickering to Whitby, The Bluebell Railway, Bishops Lydeard to Minehead, The Watercress Line, and Snowdon, Llanberis to the summit.
And after that
The stage that follows this one is the poster: Where the railway poster look came from, what those posters physically were, and what survives of them in the national collection.
