We would be grateful if you would consider making a small donation to help with the upkeep of the Nene Valley Railway (Registered Charity No 263617).

DISABLED ACCESS & CARERS

Carers travel for a discounted rate on standard travel days when accompanying a disabled passenger with a full ticket.
Please bring along a form of identification with you to show you are acting as a carer for the visit. Some Gala, Railcar or Special
Events may have different ticket prices due to the nature of the event. Please see individual event information for full details.

FARES

We also provide a number of other ticket types for shorter trips - Interstation Fares - Prices coming soon.

If you are using a Members Only or Campsite Discount Code at the time of purchase, please ensure that, on the day of travel, you bring the required evidence of the code applied. If you do not have the evidence with you when your ticket is checked, you will be asked to pay the balance of the full amount.

 

Group Organisers and Tour Operators

If you want to visit the railway as a group, please enquire about our package of fares and travel options.

Please contact our Office on 01780 784444 for further details. 

Groups are very welcome on the railway. We offer attractive discounted rates for groups of 15 or more of 10% off Rover tickets only. Ample coach parking is available at either Wansford or Orton Mere, which are our recommended stations to start or end your journey. Please note we cannot offer discounts or group fares for Special Event tickets.

Private Hire

Private hire of a train is available for that special occasion. Hire a Steam or Diesel hauled train, or perhaps our Railcar, for a memorable celebration party, wedding reception, staff outing or business event.

Email us your enquiry at adminassistant@nvr.org.uk

DISABLED PARKING

There is disabled parking available in Wansford Station car park outside the David Ray Education Centre. This area is for disabled badge holders and is not time limited. It is a discretionary parking area and we ask that others show consideration when parking.

DOGS & BICYCLES

CAN I BRING MY BICYCLE?

YES! We are very happy for you to bring your bicycle along for your Standard Travel train ride. This will always be dependent on space, as bicycles will be transported on board the train in our Guards Van. Please note bicycles are not always permitted on
Special Event services. Please see specific event details for further information.

CAN I BRING MY DOG?

YES! We are very happy to welcome your furry family member on board our Standard Travel services, so they do not miss out on your family day out. All dogs travel free. We do ask all dog owners to ensure that their dogs are kept on the lead at all times and off all carriage seats and that you prevent them from causing any inconvenience to any fellow passanger.

Please note that dogs are not permitted on most Dining Trains and some Special Events. Please see specific event details for further information.                       

If you are wishing to travel on a Special Event weekend, please see our SPECIAL EVENTS page for more details.
