Introducing Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway

The award-winning Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR) operates over 14 miles through the Cotswolds between Cheltenham Racecourse and Broadway.

The GWSR is on part of the former Great Western Railway route between the West Midlands and Bristol, South Wales and the West Country. The line between Cheltenham and Stratford-upon Avon closed in 1976 and the infrastructure was removed in 1979, the formative GWSR beginning to rebuild the line 40 years ago in 1981.

Because of Covid-19 restrictions, the railway has, since 13th April operated round trips when permitted under government guidance only from Toddington station, bookable in advance and that continues until 4th July, unless restrictions are eased earlier. Turn-up-and-go tickets have been available subject to space being available on trains. Services have and continue to reflect prevailing government guidelines.
