Discover the Lincolnshire
Wolds Railway Experience

  Visited with our nearly two year old grandson. Lovely welcoming small steam railway ideal for young children. The railway has a cafe, small museum, play area, toilets and free... read more parking. The ticket prices are very affordable and good value.

  Loved the Christmas experience today with my children and grandchildren. Santa was lovely, but Elf Mark was great at getting us all in the Christmas spirit.

  A brilliant family festive trip! Great presents and entertainment from a very energetic and enthusiastic elf. We loved ever

  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

  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.

  We visit Lincolnshire Wolds Railway quite often. Summer or winter it’s always a good day out. The volunteer staff are friendly, nothing is too much trouble. There’s a timetable... read more full of interesting events, 1940s, Hawaiian, Queen, Teddybears Picnic and Santa Special to name a few. The volunteers who work on the platform, in the shop and on the train are very knowledgable, and can tell you just about anything regarding the train we travel on. For those who are interested, there’s an engine shed, where all the repairs are carried out.
Well worth a trip or two or three!
