Discover the Lincolnshire
Wolds Railway Experience

  We visit Lincolnshire Wolds Railway quite often. Summer or winter it’s always a good day out. The volunteer staff are friendly, nothing is too much trouble. There’s a timetable... read more full of interesting events, 1940s, Hawaiian, Queen, Teddybears Picnic and Santa Special to name a few. The volunteers who work on the platform, in the shop and on the train are very knowledgable, and can tell you just about anything regarding the train we travel on. For those who are interested, there’s an engine shed, where all the repairs are carried out.
Well worth a trip or two or three!

  From the second we arrived at the LWR what a truly wonderful experience from start to finish
We can't thank all of the LWR volunteers enough for making our visit... read more so enjoyable and to
see all of the excited children was an unbelievably happy experience
Thank you again to everyone who played their part in making our visit so enjoyable

  Well worth the £12 each, so much effort has gone into the experience. Santa knew every childs name on the train, friendly people helping and lots of singing

  I went here for the first time today (18th April) and truly enjoyed it. The little trip to North Thoresby and back was very cute and pleasant. Special mention to... read more Marc who greeted us very warmly and made sure we was ok. Although the Steam Locomotive failed (bless it and no ones fault as these things happen) the Diesel Engine trip was just as enjoyable. I will most definitely return again in the very near future especially that I get to enjoy the experience first time again with the Steam Engine instead.

  A brilliant family festive trip! Great presents and entertainment from a very energetic and enthusiastic elf. We loved every minute!

  HO! HO! HO! Joined the Santa train again and as expected FABULOUS. Big thanks to everyone involved, I was with a friend who has a disability and they were... read more happy for me to liaise with Santa's elves about an adult gift. Enjoyed the singalong with the very energetic Marc (hope you had a lie down in a dark room later chap!) Planned an early arrival to ensure a pre-tootle brew in the buffet car. Our only 'gripe' and this is NOT a criticism of the railway at all....very few people wore masks on board despite numerous signs asking passengers to do so and ALL railway personnel we encountered being 'muzzled up' the same as us. It is NOT the job of the railway volunteers giving their time to provide us with these amazing memories to badger visitors into 'doing the right thing' - it's a mask, just do it! To those who chose not to wear a mask: I hope my good friend/neighbour/nurse is well enough & not too exhausted to care for you should you need her in hospital.
