Didcot


Didcot Railway Centre is the home of the Great Western Society. It is accessed through the booking hall and subway at Didcot railway station, because the site is surrounded by a triangle of railway lines.

The old sheds [81E] closed in 1965 and the GWS took over in 1967. It is a major centre for all things Great Western, including an impressive collection of locomotives and rolling stock as well as two demonstration tracks. The full programme of activities and events can be found on their website at http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/

Our first visit there was in October 1977, which is when these photos were taken.
