Blue Anchor Railway Musuem
In 1985, the Great Western Railway’s 150th anniversary year, the Trust opened a small museum in the down side waiting room at Blue Anchor Station.
Blue Anchor Railway Museum is normally open on Sundays, Bank Holidays and Gala days from Easter to October. It is sometimes possible to make special opening arrangements – see the Contacts page if you require further details.
Around 550 items, mainly GWR or with a West Country bias, have been loaned or donated, and many are on view in themed displays. The museum also publishes a range of information leaflets.
The museum is financed by donations from visitors and admission is free.
