Leighton Buzzard Narrow Gauge Railway

The Leighton Buzzard Light Railway (LBLR) is a narrow gauge light railway in the town of Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, England. It operates on a 2 ft (610 mm) gauge, and is just under 3 miles (4.8 km) in length. The line was built just after the First World War to serve the many sand quarries to the north of the town. In the late 1960s the sand quarries switched to road transport and the railway was taken over by a group of volunteers who now run the line as a heritage railway.
