Discover the Lincolnshire
Wolds Railway Experience

  We had a lovely morning trip out on the santa train. My children (3 and 5) loved it. Marc the elf was jolly and enthusiastic and got our carriage into... read more the spirit of things with singing and dancing which made the trip so much fun.

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.

  The most amazing day out, my 6 year olds best day ever! 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

  We absolutely loved this!! Wish is was nearer to home. Great to support something run by many happy, friendly, cheery staff/volunteers. All of whom have knowledge of the rail line.... read more

We arrived early at the free car park over the road from the station, drawn into the steaming kettle by the smell of bacon cooking.
Children thought the cafe was a great idea to recycle train carriages.
The actual train ride was more than we expected, choose where you sit, have a short time to wonder the next station and return back. Lots of reminiscing happened.

We had a look round the model railway, had a go on the tombola and look round lots of cheap treasures to buy.
If ever in the area we would definitely have another visit and recommend to others.

  Second visit with family. First visit was steam day and second was teddy bear day. Both visits so lovely and amazing.

Great organisation from all staff and volunteers.... read more So clean and pleasant the train journey.

Good facilities of the shops and cafe. A nice little park and picnic area. Lots of car parking space.

Clearly signposted to find.

A lovely family day for all to enjoy including dogs; so if you have dogs bring them along for the ride.

Amazing value for money to ride the train all day.

Great entertainment on board when there’s event days on. Brilliant atmosphere. Lots of singing and dancing to get everyone on board in good spirits.

Such an enjoyable day; stress free day especially with a young family. We will return for future events.

Thank you to all the volunteers and staff at Lincolnshire wolds railway; you are so friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Keep up the fantastic work!
