Every year we are pleased to see that an increasing number of tour operators and coach companies include a visit to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway as part of their tour programme. It's easy to see why. Not only does the experience of travelling on a heritage railway hauled by a steam locomotive evoke many memories, but add to this a gentle trip through the glorious Cotswold countryside and you have the prescription for a perfect day out. The 24 mile return trip over the full line takes from an hour and a half, the single trip about 35 minutes. For more information about possible journeys, see our 2013 calendar and timetable here.

Cheltenham Race Course station is situated in the grounds of the racecourse itself, about a mile out of town, and has plenty of free parking. There is a GWR shop on the platform with lots of gifts for all ages.

Winchcombe Station is about a mile outside the town of Winchcombe. Facilities at this station include a 1950's style coffee shop and toilets.

Toddington Station, at the other end of the line, has a large, free car-park. There is a GWR shop and a small museum as well as a children's play area and our Flag and Whistle tea room, serving hot and cold snacks all day.

We have access and facilities for disabled visitors. For more information click here.

Generous discounts are available for groups who book in advance, and for parties of 20 or more, we quote approximately 15% off our standard prices. We will be happy to discuss your requirements and we try to tailor our pricing according to your needs. For instance if you don't differentiate between different age groups when pricing your tours, we can quote one single price; just let us know. The tour guide and, if applicable, the driver can of course travel free with your party, or the driver can alternatively obtain a refreshment voucher at the station.

We can take bookings at very short notice if seats are still available, but we would advise booking as early as possible to secure the dates and times you require. You can download a group booking form from the website and complete it and send it by e mail attachment to Grouptravel@gwsr.com. Even easier, you are welcome to e-mail us at grouptravel@gwsr.com with your requirements and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We will then send you a travel authorisation by e mail and ensure seats are reserved for your party on the appropriate train.

There is a buffet car on every train serving a selection of snacks and drinks, but if you wish to pre-book cream teas, cakes or other light refreshments on the train, please let us know what you would like, either by e-mail to the above address or at the time you send in the form. We will then get back to you to discuss details.
