    About

    Didcot Railway Centre is a living museum located at Didcot Parkway Station in Didcot, Oxfordshire.

The attraction features a vast collection of historic steam locomotives, an original engine shed, a carriage display, and vintage railway platforms that offer a nostalgic family-friendly experience.

    The venue website highlights an entrance ramp providing level access from the railway station subway directly into the ticket office area. A network of concrete paths provides level access throughout a majority of the open-air grounds, and a dedicated level path layout with large text interpretation boards is available. Visitors can access a wheelchair-friendly toilet with grab bars, use a fixed hearing loop system in the shop, or borrow a manual wheelchair.
