Many lines closed by British Railways, including many closed during the [[Beeching cuts]], have been restored and reopened as [[heritage railway]]s. A few have been relaid as narrow-gauge but the majority are standard-gauge. Most use both steam and diesel locomotives for haulage. Most heritage railways are operated as tourist attractions and do not provide regular year-round train services.
