Vale of Berkeley Railway? Okay it's not quite doing passenger rides yet but things are moving on.

Although I've not been there, there is the Devon Railway Centre at Blickleigh.

Thanks, ChrisB.
"Brecon Moutain" could also do with being corrected.
However, when I looked at most of the formatting in that post, such that many of those links don't work, even I decided to take a step back from that one.
Sorry, grahame.

Romsey signalbox
Shillingstone Station
Gartell Light Railway (does this count as heritage?)

Thanks, johnneyw, but it's actually in Bickleigh. Coincidentally, I have been there - some time ago.
Your typo, however, caused me no undue concern - compared with the outrage I felt when Michael Portillo (with all of his researchers as a backup team) still referred to my local station as Nailsea & Blackwell, when he visited us.
Chris from Backwell (our local station is actually just within the parish of Backwell).

Presumably him referring to Blackwell made you Crosse.

Many thanks for all those additions and corrections ... which I will build into the updated and corrected mapping. Some are obvious omissions - some I wonder where to draw the line. I recall doing the swing bridge over the sheepwash channel and the old Culham stations on their open days and there may be logic to include those, as well as logic to say they are so rarely open that they should not be included.

The Oxford swing bridge I believe is an ancient monument, rather than heritage rail.

You spot the very issue of knowing where to draw the line. What criteria should be used?
| Re: Heritage rail locations across the area Posted by JayMac at 17:02, 23rd February 2025 | |
Should funiculars be included?
