STEAM - The Museum of the Great Western Railway can be found in the restored Grade II railway building of the former Swindon railway works opposite the Swindon Designer Outlet. The museum tells the story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on the Great Western Railway, often referred to by historians and railway fans as ‘God’s Wonderful Railway’.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel (seen above) created the Great Western Railway network becoming regarded as the most advanced in the world. Unfortunately its more comfortable wide gauge track was spurned by all the other railway companies in Britain.
