What a fantastic place! We thoroughly enjoyed stepping back in time and appreciating the wonderful steam and diesel locos. The ticket office is really quaint. I also recommend visiting the "Kings Cross Bridge" which appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
I came here yesterday for the Diesel Gala and I had an excellent time at this station! I'd highly recommend it for diesel and steam train enthusiasts and those who are interested in Heritage Railways!

Miniature railway was awesome. The station was bustling with exciting activities to do. Not too busy, but still a few people there. Spent several hours here.
Lovely little station with refreshments, play park and education centre. Particular treat was the miniature railway.
