Nene Valley Railway
with Cream Tea
Sun 31 May 2026
All aboard for a nostalgic day at the Nene Valley Railway — steam (or vintage diesel) trains puffing through pretty countryside, heritage stations, and plenty of photo ops. We’ll travel by comfy coach to Wansford, your gateway to a relaxed return journey along the line towards Peterborough Nene Valley, with time to explore the platforms, signal boxes, and vintage stock.
The highlight? A wonderfully enhanced Cream Tea served directly to your seat on board a classic heritage carriage. Settle in at beautifully dressed tables and enjoy generous portions of scones with jam and cream, accompanied by unlimited tea or coffee poured for you by the onboard team as the scenery rolls by. It’s a gentle, feel-good outing perfect for friends, families, and rail romantics alike.
Update: The original trip featured "Afternoon Tea" which has since been changed to an "Enhanced Cream Tea with unlimited Tea and Coffee".
