It’s Day 7 of our 12 Days of Christmas, where we look back at some stats and highlights of 2025, as we prepare for another busy year.

At RailAdvent, we have been busy publishing news as the industry celebrated the 200th anniversary of the modern railway.

What were our top 5 articles of 2025

Our top 5 articles (based on pageviews) had a variety of topics, including both modern day railways and some heritage news too.

Whether it was stations closing for upgrades, cheap tickets to Christmas markets, or Black 5s heading for disposal, we covered so much news, and we hope you have found it useful.

The top 5 articles are:

Did you know that it’s not only news we cover, but we also cover mainline tours, ECS movements, train sim reviews, and we also have a community where you can share your photos of your own adventures.

Did you know that RailAdvent Plus Gold members can access 80+ hours of gala footage from across the UK, with a range of traction from narrow gauge steam to East Coast Throughbreds in the Deltics. There really is something for everyone.
