It’s been a long time coming, but the main 2020 season for a number of Britain’s heritage railways and attractions is springing into action following the gradual easing of Covid-19 restrictions. Therefore, we thought we’d bring you a list in alphabetical order of which venues are operating and when they’re set to recommence.

Note however, that pre-booking is required for travel on many heritage lines – please check beforehand. This page will be updated as further railways and museums confirm their operating plans.

Railways & museums

  • Appleby Frodingham Railway  Preservation Society. Tours of Scunthorpe Steelworks system recommenced on June 27. Pre-booking essential. More at: www.afrps.co.uk
  • Churnet Valley Railway: August 1. However, a railway spokesman told The Railway Hub: “While we are aiming for August 1, this depends on a number of factors and us being able to get all departments ready for this date. Confirmation will be on our website, but until then I can’t promise anything. Crew training is hoped to begin imminently.” More details at: www.churnetvalleyrailway.co.uk
