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).
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.
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.
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 if pre-booked. 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.
If you want to visit the railway as a group, please contact our Office on 01780 784444 for further details.
Groups are very welcome on the railway. Ample coach parking is available at Wansford or Peterborough Nene Valley, which are our recommended stations to start or end your journey.
For 2025, our standard travel prices are discounted by up to 27%, therefore no further discounts are currently available.
Private hire of a train is available for that special occasion. Hire a Steam or Diesel hauled train, or perhaps our Pacer or Railcar, for a memorable celebration party, wedding reception, staff outing or business event.
