No trains running today. What's coming next?

Hot Weather and Train Services Update

With temperatures expected to reach up to 30°C this weekend, we have assessed the increased line-side fire risk and considered the wellbeing of our steam locomotive crews. As a result, we have made the decision to replace steam services with diesel traction for the weekend.

WE ARE OPEN AS NORMAL!

A1 and Old Great North Road Closure – Access Update

Please note that access from the Old Great North Road to the southbound A1 is currently closed and blocked off until further notice. Road Closed signs and cones are in place, but access to Wansford Station remains open – please proceed through the signs to reach us.

Directions from Our Car Park. There is no access to the southbound A1 by turning right out of our car park. To access both northbound and southbound A1, please turn left when exiting the car park.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you.

We have an exciting year planned as we celebrate Railway 200. 
2025 is the 200^th anniversary of the birth of the Modern Railways, which changed Britain and the world forever. Railway 200 celebrates the past, present and future of rail. We have some great news and events coming up in 2025 and further details will be announced shortly.

Please check with us which service is operating before you visit, as we may have to make changes at short notice for operational reasons.
