Standard Gauge Railway
More than 30 years have elapsed since steam vanished from the main lines of Britain, but at Telford Steam Railway the Golden Age of rail travel lives on. Steam tank engines and historic diesels engines work their way from Spring Village Station to Horsehay & Dawley station, a distance of just under a mile, taking their passengers on a train ride through history.
Mind the Trams !
Come back in time to the days when steam trams ran on our streets. Board our unique narrow gauge steam tram at Pool Street or Simpson Street tram stops for the short ride alongside Horsehay Pool and Picnic area.
Miniature Railway
Marvel at the miniature locos built by the Phoenix Model Engineering Society as they take their passengers on rides on the Horsehay Miniature Railway.
Model Railway
For those who like even smaller engines, visit our '00' Gauge model Railway which has now been extended to over 320 sq.ft. Adults and children alike will be entranced by the many trains rolling by.
