🎉🚂 6,000 PASSENGERS AND COUNTING! 🚂🎉
Not only was yesterday a very busy day for the NVR, but it was also a milestone day for our Wansford Miniature Railway, as we sold our 6,000th passenger ticket! 🎟️

Since opening in 2021, we’ve averaged around 1,000 passengers every year. That’s not bad going for a little miniature railway tucked away in a car park! 😁

From our miniature steam locomotives to our diesel engines, we’ve brought smiles to thousands of faces, creating memories for families and railway enthusiasts of all ages.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has visited us, supported us, and volunteered their time to keep our little railway running. Every ticket sold helps us continue doing what we love. 💙
Here’s to the next 6,000 passengers and many more years of miniature railway fun! 🚂🎉
