Nestling on the edge of the Cotswold Hills is the Gloucestershire village of Toddington. Just five minutes from Broadway, minutes away from Gloucester and Cheltenham, less than an hour from Birmingham, Coventry and Oxford, this tiny hamlet is a hive of activity. A group of enthusiastic volunteers are restoring the past. From a once barren trackbed, miles of railway have reappeared. From an empty, once lifeless and vandalised station building, a well-stocked shop and information centre have been created. Platforms, which were demolished over twenty years ago, have been rebuilt. Buildings have been moved from other sites to be carefully reconstructed as replacements for those that have gone forever.

Members of the GWRT have achieved all of this since 1981. Not only have they recreated the railway the way it can be seen today, but they also operate the railway. Volunteers carry out all tasks from Engine Driver to Station Cleaner. Membership and donations, together with various fund raising activities, have paid for much of the materials used in this work. If you would like to know more about this exciting project and perhaps help to maintain the high level of achievement, then why not join us and become a member of GWRT?

There are several classes of membership, covering adults, juniors, seniors and disabled. There are also family discount memberships and life memberships. Adult membership starts at £18.00, and family membership starts at £36.00. Full details of current prices are given on the application form.
