    What an amazing heritage railway. 14 miles of beautiful scenery. Restored stations and coaches. Took my 94 year old mother and help was at hand to get her on and into a first class seat. Help on hand from Gordon on the return too who was waiting on the station for us. All in all a perfect day, wonderful staff who couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. A superb day out. Carers go Free.

    What a fantastic experience! Took me back to my childhood as my Dad was into model railroads and we would visit a lot of train museums. We bought tickets at the station, but if it's a special event you may want to buy in advance. No queue on our visit. Thoroughly worth the journey on the all volunteer steam train.

    A fantastic day out for old and young train lovers. Take a step back to the golden age of steam on this beautiful scenic route. Don't worry diesel lovers the fleet of br blue locomotives is plenty. A fair price for freedom tickets Parking at every station And the staff are always on hand to help.

    We enjoyed both a steam locomotive and a classic diesel multiple unit at Winchcombe Station. All the volunteers were both friendly and informative. We plan to return again to ride to historic Broadway. Meanwhile Winchcombe town centre, albeit a longish walk, is well worth visiting for its shops, the fascinating museum and historic Sudeley Castle.

    Excellent preserved railway catering for both steam and diesel enthusiasts. A good selection of locomotives and a DMU available. Always worth a visit. Easily accessable at Cheltenham Racecourse, a short bus ride from the town centre and Cheltenham Spa railway station.

    I'm a steam buff so was great for me with lots to see and do. Plenty of refreshments so a good day all around.

    Lovely day out Didn't need to pay for parking Beautiful scenery, so lovely to see the race track itself. Enjoyed going on both the diesel train and later the steam train home. Lovely playground in Toddington. The food smells so good, a little pricey but then again it is home made. Lovely picnic area outside the front too. We enjoyed the family time.

    Another extraordinary place where railway heritage comes alive. The amazing efforts to present Winchcombe Station are incredible example of what can be achieved with almost a vacant site. All of this fabulous railway and its stations linked together with a wonderful line through the countryside are most worthy of a visit. Top marks for the train operations as well. I hope to return again to experience this great railway.
