The complete 2018 Heritage Railway guide to special events at preserved lines and museum centres.
Events in HR are listed in chronological order, concentrating on those of interest to the enthusiast.
All railways will be holding additional events to those listed in HR, which are aimed more towards the family market, details of which can be obtained direct from the railway, but Thomas and similar events are included in the listing.
The information was correct at the time of going to press, however we strongly advise that you confirm details of a particular event with the railway concerned to avoid disappointment.
