Come and see the progress: see freight trains shunting, and meet volunteers for a guided tour. Open Day and Model Railway Show as part of “Railway 200†& National Heritage Open Days
Free entry to site, free tea, coffee and home-made cake.
The unique narrow-gauge Southwold Railway only operated for 50 years – from 1879 to 1929: track and rolling stock were scrapped in WWII. But at Blythburgh much of the station remained under the ground, and we have excavated it and are gradually restoring it.
