Wolds Railway Experience

  My husband and I had a fantastic 1940's day experience. Great fun! We only intended to check it out and stay an hour or so, but we ended up staying... read more 6 hours. It was a great turnout and we met and chatted to a great many visiting eventors and staff. They were all wonderfully attired and so friendly. We can't believe we didn't know it was here even though we have lived in Grimsby for 20 years. We shall make it a ritual visit from now on. It just proves that you don't need to spend alot to have a great time.

  Wonderful trip and excellent service from the friendly staff. Definitely a hidden treasure. Really recommended. Thoughtful restoration and recreation of the bygone era of the steam train . Fun for... read more all ages.

  We came for the Teddy Bear day. The station had so many little bears on it and the train ride was so much fun. Thank you to Marc the fox.... read more Very good value for money too. We'll definitely be back ️

  HO! HO! HO! Joined the Santa train again and as expected FABULOUS. Big thanks to everyone involved, I was with a friend who has a disability and they were... read more happy for me to liaise with Santa's elves about an adult gift. Enjoyed the singalong with the very energetic Marc (hope you had a lie down in a dark room later chap!) Planned an early arrival to ensure a pre-tootle brew in the buffet car. Our only 'gripe' and this is NOT a criticism of the railway at all....very few people wore masks on board despite numerous signs asking passengers to do so and ALL railway personnel we encountered being 'muzzled up' the same as us. It is NOT the job of the railway volunteers giving their time to provide us with these amazing memories to badger visitors into 'doing the right thing' - it's a mask, just do it! To those who chose not to wear a mask: I hope my good friend/neighbour/nurse is well enough & not too exhausted to care for you should you need her in hospital.

  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.
