Nene Valley Railway

Nene Valley Railway

Nene Valley Railway is a heritage railway that offers a family day out but is no mere manufactured visitor attraction as the preserved railway uses part of the original London and North Western line from Northamptonshire into the Cathederal city of Peterborough, encompassing the stations of Yarwell, Wansford, Ferry Meadows (Nene Park) and Orton Mere.

Running every weekend with three mid-week services, we run a regular steam train service but the railway enthusiast with a penchant for Diesel is not forgotten either.

But Nene Valley Railway is more than just a train ride. Throughout the summer weekends you will find a vintage bus (or two) working from Wansford station, or the Travelling Post Office carriage set demonstrating how mail used to be moved and sorted at night. At other times you will see both steam and diesel traction working alongside each other. Because we’re an international railway you’ll also see locomotives and coaching stock from across Europe, a unique offering from NVR.
