Buckinghamshire Railway Centre

Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is a heritage railway museum and restoration site located at the preserved Quainton Road station in Buckinghamshire. It houses a collection of historic locomotives and carriages and presents the technology and social history of railways in the area.

Exhibits include static displays in the station and museum buildings, restoration workshops where volunteers work on rolling stock, and a short demonstration running line used on operating days. Visitors can see locomotives, coaching stock and railway artefacts, and attend special events such as galas and open days when trains are operated.

The centre occupies the historic station site and associated railway buildings that have been preserved for heritage use. Operations and displays are run by volunteer groups and heritage organisations that maintain and restore the collection.

The site sits at the preserved Quainton Road station in rural Buckinghamshire, north of the town of Aylesbury. The centre is reachable by road from surrounding towns and villages and signs direct visitors to the preserved station site.

• Visiting times: Open mainly on selected operating and event days rather than every day, check the centre's calendar before visiting for steam gala or diesel gala dates.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair access is limited in places because much of the site is made up of historic buildings and platforms; contact the centre for accessibility details.
