Heritage railway

Well organised, really cheap, kids loved it.. well recommend. Get there early to avoid the queues!Definitely be back!

Stopped in while on a lovely walk and found Thomas in the woods, what a surprise

From the moment we arrived we found staff/volunteers kind and friendly. Unfortunately, I didn't get the gentleman's name but as soon as we arrived he asked if we had been before (we hadn't) and he then went through where everything was, the train timetables, the interactive parts of the steam works and where the Flying Scotsman was. He couldn't have been more helpful. The steam works was amazing as there was so much to see and do for our young children. We took a ride to the end of the line and back again pulled by Camelot (possibly new favourite train for the 4 year old!) and then we got to experience the Flying Scotsman footplate. We had an extremely enthusiastic child with us and everyone we met was willing to share their knowledge and stories about steam trains. Great day out.

Lovely place in the middle of nowhere.Well signposted with Brown Touris Signs off the A16 Grimsby Road.Gentle steam train ride, be perfect when they are able to afford to extend the line to Louth. (So when you visit, do donate something.)Very friendly & very helpful staff.They even offer a ramp and assistance for access into a special coach for wheelchairs and disability buggies (& pushchairs).Nice buffet static coach tea room. Hot/cold drinks & snacks.Little souvenir shop.Toilets on other platform, includes a disabled one too.A good day out for the whole family.Also there is a Little second hand shop in the carpark

We visited recently for the elf event and we had a fab time! I wasn't sure what to expect as I couldn't find much info about what was happening. But, it turned out to be a nice surprise in the end as there were lots of entertainment from start to finish. The only reason I have rated it 4/5 stars was because the elf show let it down. The children couldn't see unless parents put them on their shoulders. I couldn't pick my daughter up so we sat elsewhere and just listened, which was a shame as I felt she had missed out. Why not let the kids sit in front of the stage while adults stand around them so that all parents could see their own children. This part was, from my perspective, badly organised. None the less we enjoyed everything else that was went on.

Great day out at this friendly, efficient railway with its welcoming staff. Good to see it has huge car park at Toddington suitable for motorhomes.Dog friendly. Railway is well kept & clean in all areas.We enjoyed our day so much that we went back again the next day. Discounts for booking in advance.

My first visit today to a fabulous railway in a beautiful setting. Stations along the route have food, book stores and information. All was clean and well kept

Lovely place to take little ones (or big ones) to watch the trains. Cheap platform tickets if you only want to watch.

Amazing experience once you've paid for your ticket can travel up and down the line from 10.45 to 2.45, my elderly father in law uses a mobility scooter and the rear carriage has a ramp and open space so it can be stored in there, very accomodating.The carriages are absolutely beautiful with very comfortable seating.Amazing to see the guys getting the coal ready when the train gets back to ludborough for the next run out to north thoresby.At ludborough there are toilets on the other side of the tracks, also the steaming kettle which is very well priced for food and tea coffee etc.North Thoresby has a little snack shop with drinks also.Thoroughly enjoyed it, will be visiting again for the Halloween and santa specials

Impressive place if you want to see what's left of the steam age. However I recommend that you book a major event day as they will most likely have more engines running. When I went it was rainy and despite the fact only one train was running. I had an enjoyable experience and got some good photos.The train ride is about 40 minutes there and back with 10 minutes between departures to allow to locomotive to shunt into place or to refill its water tank.
