Severn Valley - as a kid, many times, but also drove one of our tampers over the route earlier this year, which was a real treat for me!

Tyesley loco shed (turntable).

Lydney.


I'm not sure if the last two count.

I also walked part of the old track bed of the line that used to run through what is now Glastonbury festival. That was an interesting way to discover hidden parts of the festival. Lovely walk.

Not as many as I would like...

From memory:

Bluebell Railway (its 20 mins away from where I live, I last went in 1993...)
Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway
Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway
Swanage Railway? (the one that goes past Corfe Castle)
Paignton & Dartmouth Railway
The little train around Amberley Chalk Pit museum - as featured in A View To A Kill


I must have done more, but I can't remember which! Ravenglass & Eskdale is probably my favourite on the list, given the memories I have of visiting it with my grandparents as it was near to where they live, but again, I haven't been on it since I was about 9 years old way back in the early 90s!

That's right.

Well worth paying a little bit extra to travel in the lovely observation car...

Funny you should mention that - I've written a book about that line:
