A colourful Circus Carnival along the line over the Bank Holiday weekend. Our heritage steam trains run between Ludborough and North Thoresby. Buy your all-day rover ticket on arrival, no booking needed.
Park for free and enjoy a journey by steam at the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway. Buy your tickets on arrival from the ticket office, hop aboard, and enjoy a nostalgic trip back in time with your unlimited all-day travel ticket. A Steam Running Day is worked by a steam locomotive — a diesel is only used in unforeseen circumstances.
Park for free at Ludborough Station and stay as long as you like.
Tickets are sold at the ticket office on the day — no advance booking needed.
On selected dates, and subject to volunteer availability, take a guided tour of the carriage and engine sheds — included in your ticket.
Water and treats provided, with dogs welcome in our dog-friendly carriages and in the dog-friendly area of the buffet.
A cuppa and a slice of cake, or a bacon butty, served by our volunteers from a static coach along the platform.
Souvenirs to take home — postcards, fridge magnets, pens, pin badges and toys.
A small museum beside the gift shop: cast-iron notices, lamps, tickets and advertising signs from the East Lincolnshire route.
Bring a picnic, or pick up refreshments from the buffet, and spend the day riding the train. More about our facilities
