What visitors say
It was my first time there. I have not idea before about what a wonderful place it is. Is not just a Museum it is a Rail wail station that connects with other magical places. You can join into the past in this very well conserved rail station. I felt that it was magic. The museum it is small but full of history and knowledge that you will gain. The staff is very friendly and you can buy the train tickets there. Definitely it is a family place and I must mention about the mini rail that you can use for only £1.50 per person. My children will never forget about today’s trip. Very well connected from Birmingham Moor Street. Yes, you must go.

Had a great time here. We stopped at Highley for the Engine House and did their free tour which was really engaging and informative. It was a lovely day filled with lots of history. We would recommend going on a day when the Timetable isn’t C as there’s a massive gap from midday to about 3pm which meant we weren’t able to actually go all the way to Bridgenorth. I would suggest, starting the day early and making note of all the train times properly so you get the most out of your day!

A step back in time to a bygone era. Lovely friendly staff, beautiful scenery, and such a well kept area. The flowers in Bridgenorth were so beautiful on the bridge. On a personal note, I'd like to say a special "thank you" to the trainee diesel engine driver / qualified steam engine driver (volunteer, full time refrigeration engineer) who helped me out with a flat battery on my Sprinter van at the end of the day.
