Discovery Days at Didcot Railway Centre

About

Travel back in time to the golden age of the Great Western Railway and savour the sights, sounds and smells of steam as you explore this 21-acre living museum with trains dating from Victorian times to the 1960s.

Explore this 21-acre living museum and unearth almost two centuries of railway history.  Trains will not be running, meaning there's the chance to get up close and see them at close quarters.
