The Oxfordshire Railway Society was formed in 1975 by a group
who felt that there was a need in the Oxford district for a railway society
to cater for the general railway enthusiast.
ORS meetings, where a
friendly atmosphere prevails, are held on the second Monday of each month,
excepting July and August. This may change at short notice due to COVID.
ORS hold a varied selected of talks, often from distinguished speakers.
They are illustrated by film or slides and range from steam trains to
diesel engines, from broad to narrow gauge, and from foreign to local
interest.
In December we hold the Oxfordshire Railway Society's Annual Bumper
Film Show (with seasonal refreshments).
We meet in a comfortable room at 7.00pm at the Kidlington Baptist Church
not far from the A34. Light refreshments are served in the interval, and
meetings usually close at by 9:30pm. There are bus stops right outside
with frequent services to/from Oxford. An Oxfordshire
Railway Society map can be found by clicking here.
ORS also publish a monthly newsletter Buffer
Stop, the latest version may be read online soon after
the monthly meeting, and the annual ORS journal,
81F (named after the Oxford railway sheds in the days of
steam).
In addition we hold trips to places of railway interest in the summer.
Trips have been difficult to arrange recently. Photographs of previous
Oxfordshire Railway Society trips can be seen by clicking here.
