An introduction to the Plymouth Railway Circle
The Plymouth Railway Circle is a friendly railway focus group dedicated to examining all aspects of the current and historic railway scene. We meet twice a month from September to May for slide, digital and video presentations from a variety of speakers and presenters. During the summer months we have a wide range of social activities, which range from visits to railway workshops, preserved railways, boat trips, walks and many other activities. If you would like details of any of our meetings or summer venues, please see details on this website.
We look forward to meeting you!
