On another forum, someone has stated their intention to travel on every railway line within the M25. In addition to the TfL and NR lines, there are railways I know of at Kew Bridge Steam Musuem, Crossness (not sure if trains are running yet?), LT Musuem Depot and Brockwell Park. Are there any others that I haven't thought of?
ps: Before anyone mentions it, I haven't forgotten the EOR but that's entirely outside the M25!

Well there is the Post Office Railway, but that probably doesn't count as it's closed now.

Geographically just within Upminster but adminstered by Essex is a ride on railway (5ins and 7/4ins dual track) within Belhus Country Park. There used to be one at the college in Ardleigh Green road. I think the raised track is still there.

There's also a miniature railway in Ridgeway Park in Chingford.

Since we've entered the realms of Miniature Railways inside the M25 (and I'm pleased that someone else has already mentioned the one I'm closely involved in) I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the miniature railway at the LT Museum Depot at Acton

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the miniature railway at the LT Museum Depot at Acton . That's probably because I mentioned it in the very first post, although I wasn't specific that I was meaning both track gauges there. |

I think there was a miniature railway (7 i/2 gauge?) at St Mary's hospital for children in Carshalton Surrey some years ago. Anyone know what happened with it?

Well there is the Post Office Railway, but that probably doesn't count as it's closed now. I think it should be included - the rails and all stations are still extant. |
