Special Events

I’ve created this page to link railtours and Heritage Railway events
Trips to local Heritage Lines especially for Diesel Galas have become more popular recently with even staunch ‘Steam only’ lines like The Bluebell Railway taking part. It’s good to see heritage lines benefitting from the income this provides.
Links here are mainly from the local Galas I’ve visited in the last 7 years whilst living in the South East.
I intend to visit more in the future.
The railtour industry has become very popular in Great Britain with a number of companies advertising trains most weeks of the year. Although I haven’t travelled on that many – links to the ones I have are on the linked page.
