The Bluebell Line was the UK's first preserved standard gauge passenger railway, re-opening part of the Lewes to East Grinstead line of the old London, Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1960. Since then it has preserved for posterity a country branch line, its steam locomotives, crashes, and goods stock, signaling systems, stations and operating practices.

Known as "the friendly line in the Cotswolds", the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway runs along a part of the former Great Western Railway's mainline from Birmingham to Cheltenham, via Stratford-upon-Avon. The line commands wonderful views from the sleepy hamlets and villages, as it runs through beautiful Cotswold countryside.
