Leighton Buzzard Railway

The Leighton Buzzard Railway is one of the oldest narrow-gauge railway lines in England. It’s also one of the longest lines at just under 3 miles and has a great collection of locomotives and rolling stock. The line was built after the First World War to serve sand quarries north of Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire.

What can you do at Leighton Buzzard Railway?

It is now a popular tourist attraction with steam trains that run along its track 5 times a week from March to October plus Santa specials in December. It’s a lovely line with some tunnels and pretty scenery to look at.

You can book a return journey which takes approximately 85 minutes. This is usually a steam train service although they do sometimes have diesel engines. There is also a working museum which you can see during your visit.

The railway is managed and operated by the volunteer members of the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway Society, which is a non-profit organisation with charitable status. They also have a cute play area at Stoneghenge for little ones and they run yearly special events.
