The Leighton Buzzard Railway is one of the top narrow-gauge steam railway attractions in England, and great for day trips in Bedfordshire. It was featured in the popular television series “John Sergeant on the Tourist Trail”, so come and find out what makes it so special!

Built in 1919, with materials surplus from the First World War battlefield supply lines, it carried sand from the quarries in the hills outside Leighton Buzzard. It was rescued from near-closure in 1968 by a group of volunteers, who still run it on a non-profit basis.

With its gentle pace, sharp curves, steep gradients, level crossings and roadside running, the Leighton Buzzard Railway offers today’s travellers a unique and relaxing experience. Plus some great views towards the Chiltern Hills, in the final mile.

All of our locomotives have a story to tell. From the heart of heavy industry to the heat of colonial plantation railways, from the destruction of the First World War battlefields to the construction of the Channel Tunnel—they have been there, and more. So come and experience a living history lesson going back more than 90 years!
