Derbyshire Dales Narrow Gauge Railway
The railway’s eventual goal is to run from the peak-rail park, to the engine shed. At the moment, it only runs around half this length but this will change in the future. A new stock book, including all the information on the current stock of rolling stock, is obtainable from Peak Rail Matlock Shop, Peak Rail Rowsley Shop and Park side station. This line (around nine hundred yards in total) will pass through peak-rails bustling Rowsley site, through woodland, past wildlife, and will arrive at Rowsley shed. The railway is almost halfway to achieving its goal, and is now running passenger services.
EKR - East Kent Railway
The White Cliffs Colliery Line. The East Kent Railway was constructed between 1911 and 1917 to serve the growing number of coal mines that were being sunk in the East Kent area. The consortium of mine and land owners envisaged a line that would link the collieries with the main line and a new port at Richborough. In fact, although Richborough became an important port during World War 1, the line did not cross the River Stour until after the war, by which time the port was in decline. Branch lines to Canterbury, Deal and Birchington were planned but never completed. The railway today runs from Shepherdswell to Eythorne, a four mile round trip.

Welshpool &; Llanfair Light Railway
A 16 mile return journey by steam train through the foothills of Wales. The railway was built in the opening years of the 20th Century, opening in 1903 to link the rural communities to the market town of Welshpool. The gauge of 2 foot 6 inches allowed for tight curves and steep gradients following the contours of the countryside. Operated initially by the Cambrian Railways, the W&L was taken over by the Great Western Railway and British Railways being run with less and less hope of profit. After 1931 only freight was carried until eventual closure in 1956. In 1963 a group of enthusiasts rallied round and reopened the line, searching world wide for suitable rolling stock.
Ribble Steam Railway
The railway opened to the public in September 2005.

Swanage Railway
Welcome to Dorset's premier standard gauge preserved steam railway. The award-winning Swanage Railway currently operates on the six miles of track between Swanage and Norden, through the beautiful Isle of Purbeck, passing the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle. The goals of the Swanage Railway Trust (the controlling body of the Swanage Railway) are to restore the rail link between Swanage and Wareham, re-establishing a daily service to connect with main line trains, and to create a comprehensive historical record of steam railways and steam technology in Southern England. This goal was brought a step closer on 3rd January 2002 when the remaining sections of track were laid at Norden. A special service operated on 8th September 2002 when the first through train from the main line at Wareham visited Swanage.

ESR - East Somerset Railway
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) is an ex-Great Western Railway branchline running through the Mendip hills near Shepton Mallet, Somerset, UK. Steam trains run all year, with a 5-mile round trip through the rolling countryside. The East Somerset Railway was inaugarated in 1855 and opened as a broad-gauge line from Witham on the Westbury to Weymouth line to Shepton Malletin 1858, extending to Wells in 1862. Unfortunately, the line was not commercially successful and it was sold to the Great Western Railway in 1874. The railway continued on GWR and then BR hands, essentially unchanged, until 1963 when passenger services were withdrawn. Freight traffic was also reduced and the line cutback. Bitumen trains continued to Cranmore until 1985 and stone trains still use the branch as far as Merehead Quarry.
