The small relics museum houses the smaller artefacts of GWR company history including hotel ware, publicity material, models and a typical office of the 30s has been assembled. The shop has a wide range of railway books, videos, models and other souvenirs. Car parking is available at Didcot Parkway mainline station. Indulge in the footplate experience and drive one of our steam trains at Didcot Railway Centre. The day commences at 8am with coffee and breakfast rolls and concludes at 4pm with the presentation of a Certificate of your day's Experience.
Numbers are strictly limited so please book early.
Working on a railway locomotive is not clean, so wear old clothes and protective overalls and sturdy safety boots. Participants must be over 18 and reasonably fit and able bodied. On Castle Experience Days we use No. On other Railway Experience days we use one of the smaller GWR locomotives in our collection.
