Daniel McIntyre�s Internet Guide to Railways
Links to standard gauge railway internet pages in the U.K.
and Ireland.

Daniel has been asking other railways and individuals to provide a link from their pages to the South Tynedale Railway pages, in return he publicises some of the many other railway pages available on the internet on his own separate pages, like this one.

On the following list, preference will be given to pages relating to standard gauge railways either built to 4 feet 8� inch gauge in the United Kingdom or built to 5 feet 3 inch gauge in Ireland. Separate pages for narrow gauge lines in the UK and overseas are available.

Please contact Daniel at one of the following E-mail addresses - [email protected], if you have seen any other interesting pages about UK standard gauge railways that are of interest to other people, that deserve a link to them on this page, and the details could soon be included on this page. Please also let Daniel know if any of the links on this page cease to work. All links are shown in green text on this page.

Details of many standard gauge heritage railways in the U.K. can be obtained from the� web site pages, or you can return to Daniel McIntyre's Index of Railways Page for more railway links.
