The Stratford on Avon and Broadway Railway project (SBR) [1] aims to re-open the closed railway from Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire to Honeybourne railway station for main-line connection. A later extension is planned to Broadway, Worcestershire where the line could link up with the proposed northern extension of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.

[edit] Overview
A short section of track remains as a freight-only line from Honeybourne to Long Marston and initial efforts are concentrated on this.
The SBR project is run by the Stratford on Avon and Broadway Railway Society (1999) Limited (SBRS) and the Society has locomotives and rolling stock stored at the former Ministry of Defence depot at Long Marston. The site is not open to the public on a regular basis but there will be open days on 7th and 8th June 2008 [2]
The Society has a website and publishes a newsletter for members entitled The Shakespeare Express.
