Despite the announcement from Peco that this 7¼" gauge would not be open to the public during the 2026 there are three special weekends of operation on 23th/24th May, 18th/19th July & 15th/16th August. See www.pecorama.co.uk for more details.

A major milestone was marked on Easter Monday, 6th April 2026 when for the first time since 1929 it was possible to ride on part of the former 3ft gauge Southwold Railway. The Halesworth to Southwold Narrow Gauge Railway Society have been working at Blythburgh at the site of the former station and have recreated a lovely well-presented little railway, albeit currently only 75 yards in length. Motive power is 4wBE (GB/1936) with one 4w covered coach. The foundations of the original station building have been uncovered and nicely presented. The former Coal Shed has been fully refurbished and acts as a loco shed. Future open days are: 17th May, 26th July & 13th September. 10.30 to 15.45 although trains may not start running until 11.00. Unfortunately, the Halesworth - Southwold No.99A bus, which passes Blythburgh, does not run on Sundays.

The 3ft gauge tramway at Statfold Barn has not operated since August 2024. However, a new tramway is now being constructed close to the Mease Valley Light Railway, starting close to Oak Tree Halt where a new tram shed has been constructed.

It was announced in November 2025 that Pecorama including the Beer Heights Light Railway will not reopen for the 2026 season. The 7¼" gauge railway last ran on Saturday 1st November 2025.

This new 7¼" gauge railway opened on Friday 2nd May 2025. It is formed of a circuit of 200 yards in grounds at the rear of The Anchor Pub & Cafe on Main Street in Gunthorpe, Nottinghamshire. Motive power is a battery electric coach with a dummy leading locomotive.
