Central Southern Region - Forthcoming Events

When: 17 July 2022, 10:00 - 12:00 
Where: Cholsey & Wallingford Railway Preservation Society, 5 Hithercroft Rd, Wallingford OX10 9GQ
Speaker: Dr Tony Stead, Cholsey and Wallingford Heritage Railway 

The Thames Valley Group is delighted to be visiting the Cholsey and Wallingford Heritage Railway on Sunday 17 July 2022 for a relaxed but informative event. 

Following a fascinating presentation by Dr Tony Stead earlier in the year, members, non-members and their families will be able to see Brunel’s 150 year old platform canopy that Cholsey and Wallingford Heritage Railway saved from Maidenhead station and painstakingly refurbished and reassembled at Wallingford station. 

After a talk and tour by Tony we will then take a ride on the heritage railway to Cholsey station. The plan is for a steam locomotive to pull the carriages (subject to operating conditions on the day). Costs for the CILT Special visit include tea and cakes for adults and a drink and snack for children (under 15).

Arrival time for the talk and tour is 10.00. The train departs at 11.00. A round trip from Wallingford to Cholsey and return takes around 40 to 45 minutes.

The organisers have requested a cut off for booking the CILT Special with refreshments of 26 June. General admission tickets can continue to be purchased after this cut off. 

Families are welcome, and encouraged to join us. 

Wheelchair access on the train is limited but can be accommodated. Please advise any mobility issues at the time of booking.
