Wolds Railway Experience

  Everyone is really friendly and helpful. We even got to go in the signal box! Lovely freshly made snacks ina real traincarriagesnack bar. We went on Superhero day, Superman was... read more brilliant with the grandkids, fun and entertaining. Thank you so much to all the volunteers, you're doing an amazing job!

  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.

  Fantastic experience, would highly recommend, we visited today for a Birthday present for my Dad he also did the foot plate experience, all the staff are very polite and a... read more commentary was also done on the train about the trains history by Marc which was presented very well and was very informative. The admission prices was well worth the money you can ride the train all day long with added extras such as the shed engine tour. All in all was a fantastic day with the family.

  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.

  What a shame this has lost the personal touch that it had when we took our eldest 2 grandchildren a few years back! We were met by... read more Santa on the platform and they were given their lovely gifts after the train journey and had photos taken with him, which was money well spent. Not like this year which was so disappointing, no organisation, no one seemed to know where to go and no personal touch at all. The gift was tacky. This was supposed to be a Santa Special, the train didn’t even have the Santa Special sign on as it did previously! Very disappointing and a complete waste of money, definitely would not recommend this to anyone!

  Really enjoyed the entertainment put on by Mark and his colleagues today. The staff where friendly and knowledgeable.
