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 and Twyford. 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 is a joint meeting with the RCTS Maidenhead Branch on Thursday 20 June 2013 when Les Nixon will be guiding us photographically around The Railways of Scotland. Please note that this meeting starts at the earlier time of 19:30.

• Class 56 on the Joint Line: There is now a class 56 turn on the GW&GC Joint line, working 6Z80 09:30 from Willesden to Calvert and its return 6Z81 from Calvert at 18:26. It is a new spoil flow working 'as required' with Devon & Cornwall Railway's 56312 and on 24 April Mike Walker was on hand to photograph it passing High Wycombe station at 11:30 - 31 minutes down on its booked time (picture above).

Please contact us for more information, or download a programme flyer.
