The Telford Steam Railway
Telford Steam Railway
The Telford Steam Railway is located in Dawley, a few miles from Ironbridge, where the Ironbridge world Heritage
Peckett & sons Ltd 0-4-0ST No.1722 'Rocket' in Spring Village station
site is located.
The TSR runs for a little under a mile and runs in a Y shape from Spring Village station up to Heath Hill tunnel where the railway is building an extension through the tunnel to Lawley common. It then runs back down to Horsehay & Dawley and Return.
From Horsehay & Dawley the line is being extended towards Ironbridge.
There is plenty to do around the area too. There is a restaurant, miniature railway, Rare narrow gauge Steam Tram and a Play Area.
The Best Bits: As I said above there is plenty to do, and the staff are very friendly!
