This 7.5-mile heritage railway runs from Wansford to Peterborough, passing through the picturesque Nene Valley. The railway features a range of locomotives, including steam, diesel, and railcars, offering a unique glimpse into the region's industrial heritage. Visitors can enjoy a scenic ride along the valley, taking in the surrounding countryside and villages, while also learning about the history of the railway through exhibits and interactive displays at the station.
I went there for a volunteer day and I was very impressed with the whole story of the railway station and how many films and documentaries have been filmed there. If you like trains, that is definitely a place you want to be. Planning to take my family there for Christmas.
What a great day out. Great fun going up and down the line with the different engines pulling the carriages. Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Would recommend to everyone.
There are a lot of preserved railways I. Britain. This one has something most others don't have. It runs trains from Europe. We had a Danish engine pulling coaches from Belgium!
If you are travelling down the A1, this is a good alternative to the service station scrums. Very short distance from the A1. Staffed by friendly volunteers, there is a cafe in the station where I had a good coffee and sausage bap. Clean toilets. You don't need to pay admission to access the cafe. You can sit in the station cafe or get a take out drink to sit by the river. The money you pay will help support the railway.
FORGET THE TRAINS! THE STAFF/VOLUNTEERS ARE THE MAIN ATTRACTION HERE! Honestly - They were so friendly and funny too! My kids really enjoyed their jokes and chats while we were on board. It was such a lovely experience. 10/10!
A fantastic evening: so much fun, a great workout and the countryside is beautiful. We also got a tour of the signal box and I got to operate the level crossing! Adam and Harvey were both very knowledgeable and friendly and we got tours of two loco sheds and even saw the original Thomas the Tank engine : )
