A must for Thomas fans

Thomas Weekend

Thomas fans can travel to see him from any Nene Valley railway station. Just jump on board the big steam train hauled by one of his friends, buy a one day ticket and that will include everything, including your travel up and down the whole of the line, entertainment and the all-important ride behind the star of the show, Thomas!

If you travel directly to Thomas’ Wansford home, the ticket price will include a ride on one of his bigger friends all the way along the line to Peterborough and back. (Thomas only operates between Wansford and Yarwell).
