The Great Central Railway (Nottingham) offers over 10 miles of heritage railway running through South Nottinghamshire and North-West Leicestershire. The railway is entirely owned and operated by a dedicated group of volunteers who continue to develop the line as one of Nottinghamshire's premier visitor attractions. Journeys begin at the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre, located just south of Nottingham, and continue south through to East Leake or Loughborough.

We actively encourage new members and volunteers to get involved with the maintenance and operation of our growing fleet. Check-out the "Volunteer" link above for details.
