It’s Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas, where we look back at some stats and highlights of 2025, as we prepare for another busy year.

In 2025, we launched a brand new events calendar, making it easier to find railway events near you.

New Events Calendar

Our new events calendar provides an easy to use system that allows you, our readers, to find out when an event is coming up and how to find out more details. The new calendar works perfectly as part of our upcoming RailAdvent App.

Plus! The new calendar also has a map view to see what events are taking place near you, rather than searching through a big list.

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.

The library continues to grow, and if you are bored with Christmas TV already, you can sign up today and instantly get access to the library by clicking here.

In today’s video, which you may have missed, we head to the Leigh Model Railway Exhibition with lots of little trains!
