The Leighton Buzzard Railway is believed to be the only substantial survivor of the hundreds of 2 foot (610mm) gauge light railways which were built in Britain for industrial use, and the only remaining line built from surplus materials and equipment from the First World War battlefield supply lines. Opened by Leighton Buzzard Light Railway Ltd in 1919, the line is now home to one of the largest collections of narrow-gauge stock in the country. The line features sharp curves, steep gradients and numerous level crossings roads on the 70-minute round trip from Page’s Park Station to Stonehenge Works. All children receive a free Rail Trail activity and information pack and the shop is famous for its range of Thomas The Tank Engine merchandise. The Sandhill Junction buffet offers a wide selection of food, drinks and ice cream, and is the ideal place to relax in a friendly Italian-style atmosphere; there is also a spectacular railway-themed mural. The railway is managed and operated by the volunteer members of the Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway Society, a non-profit organisation with charitable status. www.buzzrail.co.uk.
