Wrexham General (former GWR side, platform 3) - Wrexham Exchange Junction (successor to WM&CQR [later LNER] - S&CR [later GWR] link line) (101) CF04
In normal operation, the first departure from Wrexham General to Bidston and last arrival at Wrexham General from Bidston use this connection. For the current timetable period, most weekday trains turn back at Wrexham General (instead of running to and from Wrexham Exchange) and are booked to do so in platform 3, using this link, but check locally. In consequence, Wrexham Exchange Junction to Wrexham Exchange has a minimal service of only two to four trains on weekdays (but a better service on Sundays).

Contact details for operators of semi-regular excursions mentioned in text above:

Regular but infrequent services

In each case, check with the railway concerned near the potential date of operation
and note that some of these lines may also be used on other occasions when so advertised.

Briton Ferry, Court Sart Junction / Up Flying Loop Junction - Hendy Junction (Swansea District line)
Excursions from South Wales via this route to The Royal Welsh Show, held near Builth each year in late July. However, the Show has been cancelled for 2021 - see their website.

Soho South Junction - Perry Barr South Junction
On some football match days except Saturdays, football specials from Birmingham New Street to Witton - outward journey only - may operate for principal 1500 KO Aston Villa home games, while similar trains may apply for major matches with other KO times. For possible dates see Aston Villa's website and check with Realtime Trains. The return trains (and Saturday outward and return trains) usually run via Aston.

Tyseley Locomotive Works, Warwick Road Platform - Small Heath South Junction
Vintage Trains' advertised 'main line' excursions resume using this branch from 4 August 2021. This does not include their Shakespeare Express service. The platform is also used for 'internal' shuttles on Tyseley Locomotive Works open days - see further entry in next section, below.

Dublin Connolly (platform 7) - Newcomen Junction
This route is used if the route via Drumcondra is blocked. At the conclusion of the All-Ireland Hurling and Football finals (and, sometimes, semi-finals), held at Croke Park on Sundays mid-August until mid-September, if a Maynooth local or local special train is to be held at Drumcondra station to receive passengers after a match, A908 1710 SuO Connolly - Sligo is in consequence diverted via this route to overtake.
2021 dates: normally in mid-to-late August each year
Information about the events at the Croke Park website or the IÉ website

Occasional opportunities...

The following sections of preserved railways over which no regular public services operate are known to have been used occasionally by special services open to the public. Unless specially noted below, there does not appear to be consistent or regular public use, so watch the relevant railways' "events" web pages for possible use. Heritage railways temporarily suspended their operations because of Covid : check their websites for information about their 2021 operations

Embsay - Bow Bridge loop [Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway]: trains use this section if stock blocks the loop line at Embsay.

Moor Road (Leeds) station - Balm Road loop [Middleton Railway]: the railway is authorised to operate passenger trains over this line on a limited number of occasions each year. On two weekends in recent seasons trains have used this section, some trains being freight trains carrying passengers.

Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre - connection with Network Rail; Roundhouse platform - Springwell [Barrow Hill Engine Shed Society]: the Springwell service usually operates on event days

Swithland Sidings - Nunckley Hill Platform [ - Mountsorrel] [Mountsorrel & Rothley Community Heritage Centre]: as advertised on their and Great Central Railway websites. From autumn 2019 services have normally been restricted to the Swithland Sidings - Nunckley Hill Platform section, with no workings to Mountsorrel.

Swanwick Junction - end of line at Greenhill [Midland Railway Trust]

Tyseley Locomotive Works internal trackage [Tyseley Locomotive Works]: on works open weekends.

Norchard Low Level - Middle Forge Junction ground frame [Dean Forest Railway]: may be used on special events days - particularly on those when separate services are advertised: Norchard (high level) - Parkend and Norchard (low level) - Lydney Junction (although on Thomas days the low level platform is used only for Thomas + brake van shunts). Santa services between Norchard and Parkend usually operate from and to low level platform with reversal at Middle Forge Junction. Most regular trains at Norchard use the high level platform on the through line.

Downpatrick - Loop Platform - Magnus's Grave (former King Magnus's Halt ("King's Halt")) - present end of line towards Ballydugan (Ringreagh) [Downpatrick & County Down Railway]: the use of some part of this line - to serve the Loop Platform - usually applies for their Halloween and Christmas services, and did so in 2019 but not in 2020.

Don't forget that all Sunday trains - and even weekday trains - are subject to further diversion or alteration.
