Berkeley Station
Construction of the original Berkeley Station started in 1874 and was completed in 1876. The station closed in 1964 and was sadly demolished in 1976. A dedicated volunteer team thoroughly excavated and examined the foundations, unearthing many architectural artefacts. Although it's no longer possible to view the excavations, we still plan to run trains to the former Berkeley Station site.

Oldminster Sidings
These old freight exchange sidings near the docks were abandoned by British Rail in the 1990s. Our volunteers have cleared extensive vegetation, relaid tracks and are building new workshop/rolling stock storage facilities. This is now our operational base and the first VoBR trains have already run from here.
