40. Freightliner
    After operating as part of British Rail and the National Freight Corporation for over 30 years, Freightliner was privatised in 1996 through a management buyout that owned the operating company Freightliner Limited, whose traditional business is the transportatation of containerised cargo around the UK. This company is now commonly referred to as 'Freightliner Intermodal’. In 1999 Freightliner Intermodal expanded the services it offered into bulk rail freight and formed a division called 'Freightliner Heavy Haul’. Two years later, in April 2001, the Intermodal and Heavy Haul businesses became separate operating companies (Freightliner Ltd and Freightliner Heavy Haul Ltd), which together formed the Freightliner Group. In April 2006 Freightliner Group set up Freightliner Maintenance Ltd, operating as a separate entity dedicated to the repair and maintenance of traction and rolling stock. Today, the Freightliner Group is a successful, independent organisation, leading the development of railfreight services in the UK.

44. Leighton Buzzard Railway
    Discover the Leighton Buzzard slow train, one of Britain’s leading narrow-gauge heritage railways. We operate what is probably the only substantial survivor of the large number of 2 foot (610mm) gauge light railways built in Britain for industrial use. Opened in 1919 to transport sand, the line has carried a steam-hauled passenger train service since 1968, and now houses one of the largest and most important collections of narrow-gauge stock in the country. In typical light-railway fashion, the line features sharp curves, steep gradients--up to 1:25 (4%)--numerous level crossings of roads, and a long stretch of roadside running, as it follows the local geography, rather than imposing itself on it. There is always something new around the next corner. Today’s Leighton Buzzard Railway offers a 70-minute round trip from Page’s Park to Stonehenge Works, which is in the Bedfordshire countryside to the north of the town. The current track is just under 3 miles (4.8km) long. The original line continued for another 0.75 mile (1 km) to Double Arches, and restoration of this section is a long-term objective.
    
    
45. DCDR - Downpatrick & County Down Railway
    The Downpatrick and County Down Railway is a five-foot, three-inch (1,600 mm) gauge heritage railway in County Down, Northern Ireland.

The railway has approximately three miles (4.8 km) of track in a triangular-shaped layout, which connects the town of Downpatrick with the historical sites of Inch Abbey to the north and King Magnus’ Grave to the south.
