u3a Pershore and District

Our monthly meeting for February is a talk entitled The Past Present and Future of  the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Steam Railway

The Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway is a volunteer operated heritage railway in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire offering a round trip of 28 miles. It uses part of the route of the former Great Western Railway’s main line from Birmingham to Cheltenham which used to run via Stratford-upon-Avon.
It now operates steam and heritage diesel trains between Cheltenham Racecourse and Broadway through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Cotswolds. The line commands wonderful views of the nearby sleepy hamlets and villages, with outstanding outlooks across to the Malvern Hills and beyond. A talk by Richard Summers a volunteer for 23 years on the railway and a director & trustee of the charitable trust (GWRT) that supports the railway.
