Discover the Lincolnshire
Wolds Railway Experience

  We visited this for the christmas railway visit with our children and their grandparents
The location is fine, plenty of off street parking nicely set, I love old steam... read more trains and carriages and you know its nice to have a bit of christmas cheer

We got our drinks settled down and then off we set along the track, the kids got a little present each which was decent

The carriages show their age, but hey you know what your getting when you go along to an old station

Santa came and saw the kids then a gent dressed as an elf turned up did some songs and we came back into the main station

My main issue was that in some of the wood sections you could see people had scrapped abusive words into the wood which was a bit annoying and it had been painted over rather than removed
It was a bit of cheesy fun though and highly recommended for people
Makes a nice break

  Visited in Summer with Grandkids and returned for Santa special!
What a fantastic time the kids had. Will be back again.
Thank you to all involved!

  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.

  A wonderful railway is well worth a visit. This is a family-friendly place and disable, friendly to. 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.

  I arrived by bus to North Thoresby as it seemed closer to the bus stop and there was a pub opposite the station for a quick pint.

The... read more track is dead straight so you can see the train leaving Ludborough. It was a rare Saturday steaming so I took the opportunity to tick this one off as it can be difficult to get here on Sundays by public transport.

To be honest there’s not a lot to see but staff and stations were tidy enough and visitors seemed to be have a good time.

  Cheap and cheerful day out. My 11 and 14 year old loved riding on the steam train and with added entertainment for the teddy bears picnic day made a fun... read more filled few hours out. Family train tickets can be used as many times as you want throughout the day and dogs are even allowed on the train too (have quieter carriages for nervous dogs or children). Staff were amazing and did a fab job. Toilets and even a dog friendly cafe available too. Would thoroughly recommend this 🙂
