Cholsey and Wallingford Railway, Heritage railway in Oxfordshire, England.
The Cholsey and Wallingford Railway spans 2.5 miles through the English countryside, connecting the stations of Cholsey and Wallingford with regular train services.
The railway line started operations in 1866 as a passenger service branch of the Great Western Railway and continued freight transport until its closure in 1981.
Local volunteers maintain and operate the railway line, preserving traditional railway practices while offering seasonal events such as Santa Express and wine tasting journeys.
Visitors can travel on restored 1950s coaches pulled by diesel locomotives during weekends and bank holidays from April through September, with a complete journey lasting 45 minutes.
The railway earned its nickname 'The Wallingford Bunk' after two boys caused a locomotive to leave Cholsey station without its passenger coaches during a football match.
