• We opened in 2007 as an 18 week project.
• Here we are still running nearly 18 years later.
• We are delighted with that, and here to stay!
This new "phone" version is read only - go ((here)) to interact.

The old site is just as relevant today as it always was - indeed more so as we have a database of thousands of subjects you can search with around another hundred subjects added each month [Recent new topics]

We have made a number of significant changes, but the software is old and the content frightens security packages. It also originates from "Desktop days" and is a bit clunky on phones and pads.

We do not hold or transmit any personal data and believe our site remains safe under "http" protocol as well as "https" and so we invite you to visit the old site, accepting any warnings you may get, via [[here]] to the insecure version of https://greatwesternrailway.info/

As we upgrade and modernise the protocols, we'll be making a number of other changes too. You'll start to see it looking better on smaller screens such as you have on a phone, and you'll be asked for cookie consent (that's under test)- when we have that we'll be able to do other things too!
