Heritage railways are loved and enjoyed by millions of people.

Iconic locomotives like Flying Scotsman hold a place in the nation's heart, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in our affections alongside famous historic structures such as Stonehenge and Big Ben.

The Heritage Railway Association is the UK-wide trade association and professional support body representing, protecting and promoting the interests of heritage and tourist railways, tramways, cliff railways, railway preservation groups and related museums.

We celebrate the past, support the present and lead the sector into the future.
