UK Heritage Railways

UK Heritage Railways are preserved and restored railway lines and vintage train services maintained by volunteers and enthusiasts, often operated for historical and educational purposes. They typically run on steam or vintage diesel locomotives, showcasing the country’s rich railway history. These railways offer visitors a nostalgic experience of past transportation, often through scenic routes and working stations that reflect different eras. While not part of the modern national network, they contribute to cultural preservation, tourism, and community engagement, providing a tangible link to Britain’s industrial and transportation heritage.
