Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Steam Railway
The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway is a volunteer operated heritage railway in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire offering a round trip of 28 miles. It uses part of the route of the former Great Western Railway’s main line from Birmingham to Cheltenham which used to run via Stratford-upon-Avon.
It now operates steam and heritage diesel trains between Cheltenham Racecourse and Broadway through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Cotswolds. The line commands wonderful views of the nearby sleepy hamlets and villages, with outstanding outlooks across to the Malvern Hills and beyond.
Whichever station you are visiting, there are refreshments available as well as on the train services. Subject to volunteer availability.
Well-behaved dogs can normally travel on trains for a flat-rate fare although restrictions may apply for some special events. Assistance dogs travel free of charge.
Train staff will be happy to provide a ramp at our main stations to enable both wheelchair passengers and anyone who cannot climb the carriage steps to board the trains. (Please be aware that the maximum width of wheelchair that can be accommodated on these ramps is 79cm / 2ft 7in). The trains have carriages which have been specially adapted for wheelchair passengers and their helpers. The spaces in these adapted carriages are allocated on a first come, first served basis and so availability cannot be guaranteed.
