I’ve picked 11 heritage railways that I have visited and I can recommend. I think they all make for a great day out and I’ve highlighted what I think is special about each railway. Let me know which railways you have visited and what you think is the best feature of the railway.
Note: in my original list I had 10 railways but my lovely Twitter followers pointed out I had missed out the West Somerset Railway. I must have had a ‘senior moment’ as we used this railway last Summer when we were on holiday. My apologies to the WSR whom I hope will forgive me and thus the list totals 11 !!

All of these sound fantastic. I’m hoping to take the children to Ffestiniog in Summer when we go on holiday. Thank you for linking up with #TuesdayTreasures
Thanks for sharing, they all seem like great lines to visit.

You’ve missed Swanage. Is it number 12?
The Swanage line was always my Dads favourite because for him it was the perfect branch line. So yes it is got to be number 12!
Before you profess to be an adviser on heritage railways, it would have been wise for you to have researched these. You have left to the swanage line, the bluebell line, the Dean forest line, the gwily line….do I need to go on,
This is not a comprehensive list of heritage railways as you have pointed out. I have only included those I have actually visited myself. Having said that, I would now include the Swanage Railway as I have mentioned in the comment above.
