Discovering the Great Western Railway
The Great Western Railway was born in the 19th century, a pioneer in connecting Bristol and London with its innovative broad-gauge tracks. It was the brainchild of Engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who left an indelible mark on the British railway landscape.
Today, the GWR continues to transport passengers and cargo, weaving a story of industrial heritage and modern innovation.

Among the illustrations, you'll find the scenic views from the GWR's remarkable tunnels and bridges. These feats of engineering, like the Box Tunnel and the Royal Albert Bridge, are as much a part of the GWR story as the trains that pass over them.
