Histoire archivistique
The Whipsnade & Umfolozi Railway opened on 26th August 1970, owned and run by Pleasurerail, a company set by William McAlpine specifically to run the railway. It started as a 1000 yard up down line, expanding to a 1.6 mile loop 2 years later. A new station was built and platforms erected, officially being opened by Princess Margaret on August 2nd 1973. The railway was handed over to ZSL in January 1991, when it was re-named the Great Whipsnade Railway.
