We went to Ludborough station where we regularly attend because my son loves steam trains (and diesels) as... read more well as the model railway in the shop in the carpark where they regularly fulfill the requests of what the trains do. The staff (all volunteers) are all lovely, really friendly and helpful and go out of the way to make everyone's day. The amount of times we have gone and have been made to feel really special is unbelievable. Although all visits are exceptional todays just blew it out of the water. The man in the shop, where they sell a lot of model railway things, was just amazing and completely lovely, as ever but what really topped it off, over the usual visits was the amazing signal man who let my little boy open and close the gates and do the signal duties with him for the rest of the day. He had such an amazing time, it was genuinely his best day of his life and he has done a lot of things. Genuinely can't thank them all enough. Far better than any other railway we have been to as they go out their way to make things so special. We love their events too, having recently been on the Santa Express and the Halloween special which were fabulous. They are so lucky to have such dedicated staff. Thank you all so much x

It is a short train ride but we knew this already and saw this as a positive as our little kids won't sit still for long anyway. The toys were age appropriate and both were played with for the train journey and car journey home. I would without a doubt recommend to others with young children.

You can visit the engine shed and see locomotives being refurbished and there is also a museum and gift shop too. There is also a second-hand book shop, Hagglers halt, which is also worthy of a visit. There is a car park by Ludborough Station, but there is no car park at North Thoresby.
