Welcome to the Marlow & District Railway Society


Founded in 1977, we are a group of railway enthusiasts based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and with members from the surrounding districts, including High Wycombe, Bourne End, Henley, Maidenhead, Twyford, Reading and Wokingham. Our activities include regular monthly meetings at the Bourne End Community Centre and outings to places of railway interest (see the club gallery pages for some examples). We also publish our own illustrated magazine The Marlow Donkey. Meetings are open to non-members, but why not join us?

Our next public meeting will be on Thursday 18th December 2025 at 7:30pm. when Peter Robins will be giving a talk entitled "India, Pt 2".
India was always a wonderful but slightly frustrating country that was full of surprises - some good some not so. From visits made between 1981 and 1996, both presentations include a variety of steam classes at work on broad and metre gauge and on a number of the charming narrow gauge lines at various locations. Industrial lines also feature as does steam over the border in Pakistan.
Part 2 covers 1991, 1994 & 1996 and concentrates on the narrow gauge including Darjeeling with a final look at steam in the Punjab and a return to Pakistan.
