What to See and Do at Toddington

‍

Guided Tours of the Loco sheds

Guided tours (organised by the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Trust) are available on Tuesdays and Sundays at 12.00, 13.30 and 15.05 - terms and conditions apply. Meet at the GWRT Information Office opposite the Toddington station building. There is no admission charge but we do seek donations (suggested minimum £2 per person) via a bucket collection.

Please note the locomotive shed is a working environment and maybe subject to sudden loud noises and vehicles moving. We therefore ask that you remain with your guide at all times whilst on the tour. Also we request you wear flat, closed toe shoes. Sadly, the shed is unsuitable for mobility walkers, wheelchairs, pushchairs and prams.

The tours are unsuitable for children in year 6 and under. Those in years 7-11 need to be accompanied by a responsible adult on the ratio of one adult to two children.

Memorabilia Displays

The Restoration & Archiving Trust operates three small displays of artefacts at Toddington Station. One is located in a former GWR Collett Brake Coach dating from 1935, and houses a display of memorabilia and early scenes of the railway. There is a small toy museum in the old Honeybourne Signalbox and another collection in the cabin on Toddington Platform 2. To find out more click here.

Demonstration Signal box

Make sure you visit the mini signal box on the far side of the car park between the locomotive yard viewing area and the Narrow Gauge Railway at Toddington and try your hand at being a signalman.

Yard Viewing Area

Visit our loco yard viewing area at the south end of the Toddington station complex. A gated access track near the south-west corner of the car park leads you from the car park, past the locomotive depot buildings and round to the yard area south of the depot. Bring your camera to take a shot or two of the locomotives in the yard. For more details click here.

Narrow Gauge Railway

The North Gloucestershire Railway Company operates the Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway which is co-located with the GWR, adjacent to Toddington Station. The 2 foot narrow-gauge line runs services on selected dates during the GWR operating season.
