Shortlisted in the annual HRA (Heritage Railway Association) awards 2026!

We have been shortlisted in the Team of the Year category in the HRA awards, we are up against some stiff competition, but to make it to the last four is an honour!

It would be great to win in March as this year marks the 10th anniversary of us taking over 37714 from DRS, (Direct Rail Services) and the formation of the HTG, (Heavy Tractor Group). Winners are announced in March at a high-quality event in the Welsh coastal resort of Llandudno.

Words from HRA (Heritage Railway Association):

"The Team of the Year category also has a strong shortlist. The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway’s Catering Team, the Southern Electric Traction Group, Isle of Wight Steam Railway Events Team, and Great Central Railway-based Heavy Tractor Group, will all be hoping to pick up the award".
