The four galleries that are currently set up cover the 3 old Great Western lines that made up the Cheltenham to Stratford route, plus the Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton section that crossed over it at Honeybourne. The latter acquired the less than flattering nickname 'The Old Worse & Worse' early in its existence.
