This summer i will be going to Great Britain and staying in Oxford where my dad will be teaching at the international summer school there. I would like to get to see some of Britain railways and im hoping that some of you can give me suggestions. so far i plan to visit the Severn Valley Railway, the Ffestingoig railway, see the Forth Bridge and ride the Settle and Carlisle railway and the Fort William to Mallaig line. what is the best way to find out when Steam excursions are running on Settle and Carlisle and FT. William to Mallaig and is there a site where tickets can be booked online? if any one is familiar with the Oxoford area where are some good place to watch trains and are special trains (steam or early diesel) run on that line and where can i find out about them? if any one has other suggestions of places to visit i would greatly appreciate it, especially things close to Oxford that i wouldnt have to use up the britrail pass for.
thanks Nikos
