Day Charter
You will arrive at the Nene Valley Railway’s Wansford Station at 9am on Friday 28th February 2025 and participate in a short safety briefing by one of our members of staff.
We would like you to get the most out of capturing Eastern Steam on freight and so London and North Eastern Railway A3 Class Locomotive No 60103 ‘Flying Scotsman’ will be running at the head of our demonstration Goods Train throughout this event. This opportunity takes place between Yarwell and Peterborough Nene Valley Railway (PNVR) Stations with run pasts through Wansford Tunnel, Wansford Station, River Nene Bridge, Castor Straight, Longueville Junction, and PNVR. There will also be cameos at Wansford involving loading/unloading and the opportunity for shots on shed in Wansford Yard.
This charter begins at 9am with a briefing and then photography from 10am. Our cafe will also be open for you to purchase food and refreshments while you are with us if you wish.
This experience concludes at approximately 4:30pm.
This package is priced at £200 per person.
Evening Charter
You will arrive at the Nene Valley Railway’s Wansford Station at 5pm on Friday 28th February 2025 and participate in a short welcome and briefing regarding the event.
Once the briefing is done and dusted, the practical fun begins and you will be escorted to the platform in time to see London and North Eastern Railway A3 Class Locomotive No 60103 ‘Flying Scotsman’ preparing for our event. There will then be a brief shunt to prepare for a 6pm start of the event. The locomotive will be resplendent in British Railways Brunswick Green and so we have organised a 1950s themed photographic opportunity.
There will then be a series of static scenes and run-pasts over the course of the next few hours as we provide actors, props, and appropriate stock to create an evening of goods themed action.
