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

All our yesterdays - Once inside everything is accessible with as many steam rides as you like. Lovely cafe with beautiful cakes and really good tea. Friendly staff. The trains are wonderful and. Didcot is a fabulous day out for couples or families. Highly recommended.
