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 British Red Cross Society in Marlow, 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 meeting is on Thursday 19 June when Jeremy Harrison will be discussing Italian Railways.

Please note that the June meeting will be the first at our new venue: With the pleasing increase in attendances at our Thursday evening meetings it had been a squeeze to fit everyone into our previous venue. We will now be meeting at the British Red Cross Society in Victoria Road, just off Glade Road by the Cottage Hospital. Thanks to the Liston Hall for their hospitality and support over the last three years.

• Paris trip: Thanks to Mike Walker and Malcolm Margetts for organising this very successful trip by Eurostar on Saturday 10 May. The picture shows our train awaiting departure from St Pancras - note the female driver. More pictures will be available soon on our new 2008 Gallery page - watch this space!
• Local railway pictures - GW&GC Joint line: To coincide with the launch of the new Wrexham service, we launched a gallery featuring these services and the other loco-hauled and unusual workings on the line through High Wycombe. Both this gallery and the existing pictures of the Marlow branch and the Bourne End - Wycombe line can be reached from the changed local railways page. If you have any good topical pictures of special or unusual trains on the Joint line that you would be willing to let us use (credited, of course) then please let us know via the email link at the bottom of this page. Contributions are still very welcome, of course, to the Marlow gallery - the older the better.

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