Evesham Vale Light Railway
The Valley Railway Adventure (formerly the Evesham Vale Light Railway) is a gauge railway that operates in Evesham Country Park in Worcestershire, England.
Route
The railway operates over a total distance of just over 1 mile, from Twyford Station to Evesham Vale Station. Twyford Station is the only terminus on the line, with Evesham Vale Station situated on a balloon loop.
History
The railway was originally built and owned by Jim and Helen Shackell, with public services commencing on 1 August 2002. The railway passed into the ownership of Adrian & Sandra Corke in 2012, without interruption to services. In 2024, the railway was sold to David & Katherine Nelson-Brown who also own the Perrygrove Railway. The railway was renamed to The Valley Railway Adventure. A small number of passenger coaches have been constructed for the line, but most of those in service are historic vehicles acquired from other lines, notably the Fairbourne Railway in Wales, and the short-lived in Brittany.
