I'm rather parochial on my three:
North Cornwall Railway, to Padstow, where we used to holiday;
Plymouth to Yealmpton Branch, through Plymstock and Elburton, where I used to live;
The Primrose Line, to Kingsbridge, near where I met my wife.
Obviously, there's also the Portishead Line - but that is being rectified, so I can hopefully travel on it at some time before I fall off my perch.
CfN.

The Somerset and Dorset Joint would have been high on my list.

Andover to Swindon, with a diversion to Tidworth (I did Andover-Marlborough, but it was in the dark.)
Lambourn Valley Line
Sidmouth Junction - Sidmouth
(And if I had a time machine, the Larkhill Military Railway between 1917 and 1922)

Didcot to Winchester, Oxford to Cambridge and Carlisle to Edinburgh on the Waverley line.

In was 10 in 1964, 15 by 1969 ... travelling but not really aware of the depth of what was going on around me. So many missed opportunities - whether they would have been practical I doubt. Another thread (on the Bridport Branch) lead me to thinking which would I have most like to have travelled ... and I have come up with three - just three to avoid the list getting too depressingly long
* "Beyond Barnstaple"
* Ruabon to Morfa Mawddach
* Bridport Branch
What are your three regrets?
