Glenreagh Mountain Railways is not currently operating as our accreditation expired in January 2008. Since then the Rail Safety Act (2008) has come into force and we were required to re-apply in accordance with this new act. In our first major achievement since that date, we received our official Notice of Accreditation as a Rail Infrastructure Manager from the Independent Transport Safety Regulator on 11 October 2011. That allows us to carry out preservation and restoration of our railway infrastructure including the line and associated buildings. We are now working hard to achieve accreditation as a Rolling Stock Manager to allow us to operate our trikes and track maintenance machinery and to eventually resume our previous operations.
At the moment, it is not possible to give a reliable estimate of when we will be operating again but in the mean time, all sorts of necessary work is going on at both Glenreagh and Lowanna to preserve and restore our track and buildings, driven by a dedicated band of volunteers.
Through this web site we are endeavouring to keep members and the general public up to date with our latest activities.
So don't forget to come back and visit us regularly to see all the exciting things happening at Glenreagh and check out the updates on our News
