The Railway runs between Ludborough and North Thoresby in Lincolnshire and is extending... read more its tracks South to Pear Tree Lane. The railway has fantastic views of the Lincolnshire Country side, ludborough Station has a mk3 buffet car serving meals....cold/warms snacks... drinks and cakes. The cakes are very delicious to try, and the tea is wonderful.
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.
Once you buy a ticket you can ride the trains all day long.

  We visit Lincolnshire Wolds Railway quite often. Summer or winter it’s always a good day out. The volunteer staff are friendly, nothing is too much trouble. There’s a timetable... read more full of interesting events, 1940s, Hawaiian, Queen, Teddybears Picnic and Santa Special to name a few. The volunteers who work on the platform, in the shop and on the train are very knowledgable, and can tell you just about anything regarding the train we travel on. For those who are interested, there’s an engine shed, where all the repairs are carried out.
Well worth a trip or two or three!

  A very enjoyable entertaining treat for Christmas. All staff worked really hard for this event. Each child got a gift with their name on and the adults got a gift... read more too. The train ride was just long enough to keep young children engaged and it was great fun to see children and adults joining in with the sing a long. Will be going again next year.

  The Lincolnshire Wolds Railway has ambtious plans to extend the line and can only do it with public help. It is good to know we can experience a railway adventure... read more and know at the same time that we are helping their fundraiisng and pay towards extending the line. £600 buys one length of rail. But every little helps. Very enjoyable morning. Had breakfast first before the train ride, Volunteers very friendly and helpfuol. Very nostalgic for the older members of our party and fascinating for the younger ones. Can recommend a truly wonderful experience. I have heard of this railway before but never realized it was as good as this.

  As a family we have visited the railway on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. We visited over the bank holiday weekend, which was a Super Hero's event.... read more There were lots of families enjoying the day with many children and adults dressed as Batman, Super girl etc.
One volunteer guard dressed as Superman, did a superb job of entertaining the children as the train travelled from Ludborough to North Thoresby and back.
On the platform at North Thoresby, Superman and another guard led dances on the platform and many of the children and adults joined in.
Parking is free and there are good toilet facilities on the station and while the cafe on the stationery buffet car was currently out of action, there was a kiosk selling hot and cold drinks, crisps and biscuits. Food could be eaten in the buffet car.
It is very much small scale but never the less, the volunteers make it a great experience and it is well worth a visit.
