From start to finish on the Santa experience it was fantastic All the staff were really kind and helpful The buffet cart served fab bacon and sausage buns at a really good price What can I say about the on board experience the elves entertainment had me laughing throughout the journey credit to them they certainly had lots of energy running and dancing up and down the carriages Only thing that maybe could improve it would be perhaps get the kids doing an activity such as colouring a Christmas picture as before the train departs the kids don't have anything to do I know this is extra cost maybe just increase the price slightly to cover this . In all a fantastic experience if you haven't been get booked

Halloween ghost train was an amazing experience for all our party. We ended up doing 2 trips on the train as kids aged 11 down to 3 thoroughly enjoyed the ‘chain man’ jumping at them. Big thanks to all the volunteers and especially the ‘ chain man’ x

What a quaint little station. Only a short ride, less than 30 minutes return, but volunteers were great, buffet car at station for food and drink, not too expensive either. There's a little museum and a gift shop at the station and engine sheds if you were interested, sadly it rained quite hard so we decided not to venture out to the sheds.

I was given tokens for the railway for my birthday last year. Having waited for better weather and the summer holidays, we decided to visit and take our grandson. I had 2 x £20 vouchers. I asked for 2 adults and one child day tickets, costing £26. This is where the confusion came. The only way I could pay was to use one voucher plus £6 cash. My other voucher was returned to me with a hand written message on the back - "this was not used - 21/8/2024" and 2 lines drawn across the front of it! Despite asking why could I not use both vouchers and have one changed to £16 for use elsewhere on the railway, it was not possible! I had expected to use both vouchers (£40) during the visit but left with one unused £20 voucher still in my pocket. The railway is a super idea, and the possibility of future development for the return of a line all the way through to Louth is quite exciting. The train does look very tired inside in some of the carriages, and it is certainly a "better journey" should you arrive early to get the best choice of carriage/seating. I do wonder if people lucky enough to get these carriages, actually spend the whole day occupying these seats whilst simply going forwards and backwards without ever leaving the train?

Visited for the Christmas train ride with 3 children aged 3-6 and we had an absolutely amazing time! Santa gave gifts and left elf Mark and elf in training to do the entertaining. Singing and running up and down the train had everyone laughing clapping and dancing. Definitely worth the visit and lovely cafe to visit afterwards.

Visited during May half term 2024 - check the website for ‘running days’ as it isn’t open/running everyday as it’s all done by volunteers. It is only a short 2 stop journey. Starts at Ludborough and goes to North Shoresby or vice versa - about 15 mins each way. We got off at N/Shoresby and went for a drink at the New Inn for an hour and go back on the train. Nice on steam train, kids/adults can stand and have a picture in the cab, staff are all friendly etc. Will be nice when it travels to Louth as well - not sure when that will happen.

Absolutely amazing. This was our second visit and this time was for the Santa train ride. It was incredible, our little girl got a lovely present from Santa, a great train ride and on board entertainment from the elves on board who made it so very special with songs and dancing and then a visit to Santa's Grotto at the end which was a great photo opportunity. Its crazy how all the staff are volunteers yet they are absolutely amazing compared to some places you go where the staff are actually getting paid and are horrible and rude! Such an amazing day! Well worth the money and will definitely return! Can't recommend highly!

I have visited this railway many times and each visit just gets better. This time I noticed that the carriages forming the Steaming Kettle buffet have been replaced with newer stock. It was so nice sitting in a first class ex-GWR coach with our food and drinks. The service was excellent on board with a lovely view of the countryside and station. The ride to North Thoresby was complemented by a.volunteer giving on board commentary about the history of the railway. Once back at Ludborough I was given the chance to have an escorted visit to the yard and shed. Before leaving, we had to have another round trip on the train too. I intend to join the supporting society to keep up with progress as they head towards Louth. I will definitely be back again. Well done to all the volunteers for making it such an enjoyable visit.

Great railway with helpful and friendly volunteers. Nothing seemed too much trouble to ensure folk were happy and safe. The cafe sold bacon butties to die for... so to speak. I counted 3 pieces of lean bacon in mine. Fair and reasonable prices too. Would I go back? Oh! Yes! Pack up your troubles and put them on a bus whilst you get on the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway.

Can’t believe I have only just found this place. What a gem We went on the Santa train ride, it was such fun, the elf’s were amazing and Santa spent time talking to each table, it was just perfect for the whole family. Everyone was just so friendly. We will definitely be back.
