Heritage close to NR

[dcd]

Does anyone have a list of Heritage lines whose stations that are within 5 minutes walk of Network Rail Stations.

e.g Alton - Mid Hants
Totnes - South Devon
Paignton - Paignton & Dartmouth
Kidderminster - Severn Valley
Aviemore - Strathspey
Keighley - Keighley & Worth
Sheringham - North Norfolk
Bodmin Parkway - Bodmin & Wenford

Although not exactly 5mins walk, the GCR and Mid Norfolk Railway are within reasonable walking distance of Loughborough and Wymondham Stations respectively. Again a little more than 5mins, but Peterborough and the Nene Valley Railway are close.

Grosmont station at the NYMR share the station with Northern Rail services (but don't actually share platforms) so I would say a 10 second walk between the two

Aviemore - Speyside

It's the Strathspey, not the Speyside and it's actually found on Platform 3 of Aviemore station!

(On a good night, I could actually make the 1930 Diner from the 1929 arrival from Kings Cross if I wanted - I don't, however I get the 1745 from Perth instead and chat with the Guard on the 1930)

Ecclesbourne Valley Railway from 8th April. Cross-Platform interchange at Duffield.

EVR services are times to connect with East Midlands Trains' Nottingham - Derby - Matlock service and this includes throgh ticketing.

Not quite at the moment but peak rail should soon be running into matlock on platform 2

Bury Metro Link for the ELR and from the 8th Of April you will have the EVR from Duffield also I belive the North Norfolk Rail is withinn Walking Dostance but is about 15 - 20 minute walk and the Avon Valley Railway is quite close to on eof the ML Stations alos Dean Forrset Railway about 10 min walk up hill slightly form Lydney ML Sation.

In Pothmadoc the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway is next to the station.

The ffestiniog station is probably just over 5 minutes away, but the ffestiniog has a station above the NR station at Minffordd, and shares Blaunau ffestioniog NR station.
