Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway
Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, the `Friendly Line in the Cotswolds“ operates a round trip of 20 miles from Toddington via Winchcombe to Cheltenham Racecourse, including the 693 yard Greet Tunnel, one of the longest on a preserved railway and offering superb views of the Cotswolds, Malverns and Vale of Evesham.
The line was primarily built (1900-1906) to improve through services from Birmingham to Bristol and the West Country. It also carried fruit from the highly productive farming areas both in the Cotswolds and the Vale of Evesham.
The Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway attracts a varying range of steam locomotives and has its `home“ fleet of heritage diesel locomotives.
