The railway operates over a total distance of just over 1 mile (1.6 km), from Twyford Station to Evesham Vale Station. Twyford Station is the only terminus on the line, with Evesham Vale Station situated on a balloon loop.
Historyedit
The railway was originally built and owned by Jim and Helen Shackell, with public services commencing on 1 August 2002.[1] The railway passed into new ownership in 2012, without interruption to services.[1] A small number of passenger coaches have been constructed for the line, but most of those in service are historic vehicles acquired from other lines, notably the Fairbourne Railway in Wales, and the short-lived Chemin de fer de Guerlédan [fr] in Brittany.[6]
