A popular holiday destination, many visitors flock to Didcot to visit the famed Railway Centre, a source of great pleasure for family parties and steam enthusiasts alike. The town is home to the Great Western Society and its unique collection of former Great Western Railway steam engines, coaches and buildings. The centre also houses a re-creation of Brunel's broad gauge railway. At certain times of the year visitors may even be fortunate enough to see Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends on one of their trips to the centre. There are regular "steam days", during which visitors have a chance to ride in original 1930's carriages on one of the demonstration lines. It was the arrival of the Great Western Railway in 1839 and the erection of Brunel's railway station in 1844 that started the transformation of Didcot from a rural location into the small town it is today.
