Didcot Railway Centre includes a 1932-built engine shed and coaling stage, which are Grade II listed, on a site that covers some 24 acres. The Centre houses the largest collection of Great Western locomotives, carriages and wagons. Laurence Waters, the Honorary Photographic Archivist for the Great Western Society, will give members a guided tour of the site, including some 'behind the scenes' areas, including the Trust library building and archive. There will be steam trains running and everyone will be able to have a ride!

The small print:

Bookings are taken on a first come first served basis but the lists will stay open until seven days before the event. If you are offered a ticket via the waitlist you have 72 hours to claim it.

A joint member may book two tickets.

You can cancel your booking up to 30 days before the event and get a partial refund — Eventbrite takes a small percentage of the fee. After that no refunds can be offered.

If you book and cannot attend the event, we urge you to cancel as soon as you can so that someone else can take your place. Our events are popular and we almost always have a waiting list.

Please note: our walks and visits are open to MEMBERS ONLY. If you book a ticket and are NOT a fully-paid-up member you will be required to join the Society or top-up your lapsed membership before you join the event.
