Great experience, lovely café, little gift shop with plenty of bargains to look through. Great team, clean carriages and fabulous entertainment. Your tickets also allow you to ride the train as many times as you like. Highly recommend.

  As a family we have visited the railway on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed. We visited over the bank holiday weekend, which was a Super Hero's event.... read more There were lots of families enjoying the day with many children and adults dressed as Batman, Super girl etc. One volunteer guard dressed as Superman, did a superb job of entertaining the children as the train travelled from Ludborough to North Thoresby and back. On the platform at North Thoresby, Superman and another guard led dances on the platform and many of the children and adults joined in. Parking is free and there are good toilet facilities on the station and while the cafe on the stationery buffet car was currently out of action, there was a kiosk selling hot and cold drinks, crisps and biscuits. Food could be eaten in the buffet car. It is very much small scale but never the less, the volunteers make it a great experience and it is well worth a visit.

  The train ride was really interesting through such pretty countryside.

  Today we attended the Santa Experience (having done the same last year) and it was amazing.
Our little boy loved the train pulling into the station, all decorated lovely for... read more Christmas too.
The Elves were such fun and really gave a great atmosphere to the ride, then santa naming the child as they got the gift really added that something special.
Loved the traditional features along the tracks and station.
We really need to support these things so they keep going, will be back next year!
Absolute bargain price too

  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
