About Cholsey & Wallingford Railway
Former GWR Branchline in South Oxfordshire running heritage steam and diesel trains.
Cholsey & Wallingford Railway Description
Enjoy a five mile round trip on The Cholsey and Wallingford Railway - a preserved former Great Western Railway branchline in South Oxforshire. Our line links the national railway network at Cholsey, with the historic market town of Wallingford. Trains run on selected weekends and bank holidays throughout the year and, where available, are steam hauled.
Known locally as "The Bunk", passenger services ceased in 1959. Having secured the line in 1981, the 100% volunteer run C& WR Preservation Society now aims to enhance the facilities that the railway offers and to improve our Wallingford site. The railway aims to offer steam hauled trains where possible, but also operates an interesting fleet of 08 class diesel locomotives.
