Wagon repair and restoration


Wagons form an important part of our heritage steam railway, and goods trains are a much-loved attraction in special events such as steam galas, where visitors can see what rail traffic on a branch line in the 19th and 20th centuries would have been like. Our wagons are restored and maintained by a team working in the yard at Bewdley station.
