Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, Heritage railway in Stanway, England
The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway operates steam and diesel trains along a 14-mile track through the counties of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire in England.
Built between 1900 and 1906 as part of the Great Western Railway's Cheltenham to Birmingham line, the railway ceased operations in 1976 due to track damage.
The railway preserves traditional British rail travel with period stations, vintage rolling stock, and dedicated volunteers maintaining historical railway practices.
The railway runs services from March to December, with trains departing from multiple stations including Toddington, Winchcombe, and Cheltenham Racecourse.
The Stanway Viaduct, spanning 200 meters with 15 arches, represents the most substantial structure on the railway line requiring £1.8 million in restoration work.
