The Gloucestershire and Warwick Railway is within easy reach of nearby tourist attractions, the railway runs along the edge of the Cotswold’s with spectacular views over Evesham.

The heritage railway track is around 10miles long and operates services between Cheltenham Racecourse and Toddington.

One of the steam trains in use is locomotive no 3440 The City of Truro which was built in 1903 and became the first train to achieve 100mph in 1904. 

GWR has established a good track record with the National Railway Museum.  It currently hosts centenarian Great Western Railway no. 3440 City of Truro (reputedly the first locomotive to exceed 100mph in 1904) and during 2007, LNER V2 2-6-2 no. 4771 stayed for a prolonged visit.  In April this year, Southern Railway 4-6-0 no. 850 Lord Nelson (at the time of its construction the most powerful locomotive of its type in Britain) is expected to visit for running-in after boiler repairs at York and will stay until June or July, participating in the Cotswold Festival of Steam.
