About

Telford Steam Railway (TSR) operates over part of the former Wellington to Craven Arms railway line. For most of its working life the line was operated by the Great Western Railway and Western Region of British Railways until passenger services ended on 23 July 1962.

TSR has been providing heritage rail travel since 1984. We operate mainly on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays (some Saturdays for special events, check our website for full details) from Easter until the end of September. Our trains are hauled by heritage steam or diesel locomotives.

Free parking is available at our Spring Village station (TF4 2NF), where the first departure is at 11am. You do not need to prebook, just turn up and pay once to ride all day!

Trains leave Spring Village for a journey of about a mile up a steep gradient and through Heath Hill tunnel to Lawley Station. After a short stop the train leaves to travel to Horsehay and Dawley station. Here, our Furnaces Tearoom (serving hot and cold drinks and snacks) and large model railway exhibition can be visited. Passengers can then re-join the train to return to Spring Village.

In addition to our standard gauge running line, TSR also operates a narrow gauge steam tram around a circuit of track adjacent to Horsehay Pool.

The Phoenix Model Railway Engineering Society also operates their 5-inch miniature railway at our Spring Village site (additional charges apply).

We have many special events and experiences planned throughout the operating season. There is something for everyone at our railway, whether you are a train enthusiast, or a young family looking for a great value day out.

We also run our very popular Polar Express trains on selected dates in November and December. This is a magical experience for all the family and as such, tickets tend to sell out quickly.

Please see www.telfordsteamrailway.co.uk and Facebook page for more details and regular news updates.

All subject to availability. Telford Steam Railway and TSRE21 reserve the right to suspend, cancel, or amend any of the attractions, events or locomotives without notice if required.
