SUMMARY:The Broad Gauge Way Gang - Didcot Railway Centre Saturday 23rd May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what life was like in the mid-Victorian era working on the broad gauge\nGWR? For a unique opportunity at Didcot Railway Centre (DRC). Would you like to experience the\nreality of working for a day on some GWR broad gauge trackwork in a near authentic 1880’s railway\nsetting?\nOn Saturday 23 rd May 2026 a limited group of RCTS members (under the supervision of Didcot\nRailway Centre staff) will be given the opportunity to carry out some basic light maintenance work\non and around the DRC broad gauge railway line. We will be based for this day in the DRC broad\ngauge P.way cabin\, complete with (weather permitting) coal fired heating and tea brewing facilities.\nStarting at 9:30am\, DRC will provide training for us to try our hand at carrying out a few (not to\nstrenuous) maintenance tasks on their authentic GWR broad gauge track layout. DRC will provide all\nthe tools necessary to undertake the work. As DRC will be open to the public on this date\, it is\nsuggested that suitable 1880’s railway staff clothing should be worn (i.e. heavy work boots\, large\nblack trousers with braces\, white shirt (without collar)\, black jacket\, waistcoat\, and dark flat cap etc).\nA donation of £5 per person will be taken on the to cover the DRC costs for basic materials used (i.e.\nCoal).\nAs this date (23 rd May) is 134 th anniversary of the removal of the final section of GWR broad gauge\ntrack in the South West of England. DRC may also provide some appropriate provisions (similar to\nthose provided to track workers back in 1892).\nWhile on the site it should be possible to view other projects currently being undertaken\, including\nthe reconstruction of the GWR Heyford station building (originally constructed is 1850).\nFor further details and to book your place for this day\, please contact the Thames Valley Branch\nFixtures Secretary (Andrew Jenkins) by email at tv-fixtures@rcts.org.uk
