Wolds Railway Experience

  I visited the Teddy Bear train ride with my 8 year old daughter, my mum and her partner and we loved it. Marc the Fox was amazing, he got us... read more all singing and dancing in our seats as the steam train made its short journey. We all jumped off for a sing and a dance and hopped back on again. Great experience, lovely café, little gift shop with plenty of bargains to look through. Great team, clean carriages and fabulous entertainment. Your tickets also allow you to ride the train as many times as you like. Highly recommend.

  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.

  We took our two small grandchildren (6 and 3) on Saturday. They each received a named gift and Santa spoke to both of them, a lovely touch. The... read more gifts were just right for our two, the 6 yr old especially loved his. An added extra was that Granny and Grandad also received a small gift. There was entertainment by one of Santa's elves to get us all in the Christmas mood. There was also a photo opportunity with Santa at the end of the ride. Our two loved being on the train and found it fascinating. Absolutely brilliant, we'll organised and thorough enjoyable. Highly recommended!

  Friendly welcoming, .small but has a massive Dream and its happening. Everyone brilliant train crew helped to go out there way to help and answer questions from the very... read more young to us oldies. Its all voluntary run .and they put other preserved railways to shame .One person I would mention who will go that extra bit .is Marc. He must run on batteries he is brilliant. Never stops .,and entertaining. None stop .Buffet staff .welcome, clean as expected Dogs welcome separate in the buffet for them .prices .well as we have been and coming out of lock down. The whole railway has not ramped their prices up .like the coastal towns near by have done .when this railway gets to Louth it will be a magnet for tourists railway and none railway enthusiasts .

  Not quite what I was expecting. Cars were parked in very muddy clogged grass making it difficult to get parked. It all seemed a little chaotic when we got there.... read more Santa saw the children for all of a minute as he handed out plastic bags with the kids presents in, which weren’t wrapped (not a big issue, but would have been nicer wrapped). The toys itself were age appropriate which was good. I thought we would be on the train for around an hour but it was 10 minutes up the road. Parked for 10 minutes whilst elves set up entertainment and 10 minutes back. The entertainment was ok, but wasn’t what I was expecting from the adverts. I think if this wasn’t here it the experience would have been awful. They did make it fun for 10 minutes. We had travelled nearly two hours each way (150 miles) to come to see Santa for 1 minute between three kids and the only interaction with him was to pass their present. They didn’t get to talk to him. There was the option to go and see him in the grotto after we got back to the station but the queue was long and the train was waiting to go again with the next lot so we didn’t wait.
It really didn’t add to things when a little boy in the seats in front hadn’t got a present as it had been forgotten as the grandparent was kicking off (I understand the frustration) but it really spoilt the atmosphere for other guests as she kept complaining. Then the elf singer asked for feedback on trip advisor which set her off again.
It was ok, but wasn’t what I expected and I think my children would have preferred somewhere where we could talk to father Xmas for 5 minutes. I appreciate its voluntary workers and I appreciate their time, just think it needs a few tweaks

  The train ride was really interesting through such pretty countryside.
Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and the station was really authentic with an atmosphere of past times
The... read more staff had been extremely helpful, particularly after my error with booking online, the issue was sorted out for me so my partner was able to enjoy his birthday treat! Excellent service and everyone is a volunteer. I highly recommend a trip on this lovely railway.
