About

Former GWR Branchline in South Oxfordshire running heritage steam and diesel trains

Story

Enjoy a five mile round trip on The Cholsey and Wallingford Railway - a preserved former Great Western Railway branchline in South Oxforshire. Our line links the national railway network at Cholsey, with the historic market town of Wallingford. Trains run on selected weekends and bank holidays throughout the year and, where available, are steam hauled.

Known locally as "The Bunk", passenger services ceased in 1959. Having secured the line in 1981, the 100% volunteer run C&WR Preservation Society now aims to enhance the facilities that the railway offers and to improve our Wallingford site. The railway aims to offer steam hauled trains where possible, but also operates an interesting fleet of 08 class diesel locomotives.

A trip back in time! Best on a day when live steam is pulling the train. A modest museum and a gentle run through the countryside to Cholsey and back. Agatha Christie lies in the graveyard there? Who dunnit? Natural causes! Bonus they let my Jack Russell come too.

One of my favourite standard gauge railways. Friendly volunteers and pleasant scenery.

Needs serious investment. Run by amateurs and it shows. Not a criticism, just a fact. Needs your support, so go along if you like preserved railways.

Fantastic heritage railway run by a small band of extremely hard working volunteers.

They badly need a rich benefactor as the carriages need refurbishment, they need funds to rebuild the station and it would be the icing on the cake to have steam That said, it is a lovely peaceful way to spend a few hours trundling up and down the line, watching deer and red kites, and, once you have paid, you can do as many rides as you like.
