Take a journey back in time and enjoy a fun-filled, nostalgic day out with this Family Steam Train Experience.
This majestic vehicle has been around for over 200 years and was a key part in the growth of the Industrial Revolution. Seeing these trains up close and in all their glory brings a real sense of history to your day.
Britain boasts more railway attractions per square mile than any other country in the world. And with 100 heritage railways, 60 steam museum centres and 700 operational engines, all supported by an legion of 23,000 enthusiastic volunteers, a day out on a steam train offers people the chance to savour a bygone age of riding aboard a lovingly preserved locomotive.
Unlike the usual trip on commuter trains, this is one train journey you will not want to hurry by quickly. Instead, sit back and relax and enjoy the ride as you meander through some of the most glorious and unspoiled parts of the English countryside.
This is a fantastic day out for both adults and kids, and with a choice of scenic locations to choose from is a great way to see different parts of the country while travelling in style.
When you arrive at the venue, you will need to exchange your voucher at the ticket office for your family steam train tickets. The experience varies depending on the location you choose. Some journeys are return trips while others are all day rovers and you may be able to stop off en route to explore the local area on foot. Depending on the location, you may be able to visit other attractions at the venue such as a steam train museum.
This experience is available on selected dates, typically March to October, however some locations are available throughout the year.
The experience can last from 35 minutes to a full day.
There will be other people there on the day.
You are more than welcome to bring friends and family, however, they will have to pay on the day.
Minimum age restrictions apply, under 17's must be accompanied by an adult.
This voucher is valid for a minimum of two adults and two children, depending on location, and excludes special event days.
This is for a voucher entitling the holder to any of the activities supplied by Activity Superstore up to the value stated.

We had a great day out on the railway. Staff were brilliant, especially Val the ticket lady, she was polite and efficient, Customer orientated. Only downside was there was not a lot to do at the stations except Wansford which had a bit more to see.

Family of 4, 4yo twins. The girls loved the whole experience. From arriving to collect the tickets, boarding the train, being asked for their tickets, watching the steam engine refill with water. The whistle blowing and watching the coal being put in. It was amazing! Staff were great with the children and very helpful for the adults also to plan the day. When we arrived back at Wansford there was still plenty to see and do. The girls were able to go into a couple of the trains to have a look and pretend the be the train driver. We also looked in the museum and then workshops. And of course see Thomas! There is also a small play area where the girls could play. A quick look in the shops and then home. A great day out all round.

We had an enjoyable journey on the Nene Valley Railway from Wansford to Peterborough, despite the wet weather. The staff were very helpful and informative, the journey by steam train comfortable and picturesque and we enjoyed the on-board refreshments. It was only a fifteen minute walk into Peterborough Town centre for some lunch and then a pleasurable and interesting walk around Peterborough Cathedral. Once back at Wansford we had a look round the station waiting room and then the shop before heading home.
