Paddington at Didcot

Living Museum of the Great Western Railway
Welcome to Didcot Railway Centre
Explore the unique collection of Great Western Railway steam locomotives, carriages, wagons, buildings and small artefacts at our 21 acre living museum set around the original 1932 Engine Shed
Didcot is brilliant - The engine shed is brilliant, lots of open space for the kids and everyone is so friendly. Thoroughly recommended for the whole family.
- Craig Bayliss - July 2020
Everything is so clean and the guys on site have done everything to keep people safe and distanced.
