Great museum! Much bigger than at first glance and suitable for families. Really fun day out, especially for train enthusiasts. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful too. We visited on a wet Easter holiday and stayed 3 hours.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
This is an awesome place to take your children for an adventure day steam trains to ride , Thomas engine, an antique shop on a side , mini trains to ride ,ice cream van and inside shops for refreshments and entertainment/ shopping, you also have a guide which will talk about the trains and many other activities for children. Booking requires beforehand.Queues are likely but not as badly.
There is so, SO much to see and do here! What we especially appreciated was being able to walk around, take photographs and explore without being kept away from everything behind barriers as is too often the case with heritage railway sites. Obviously it is incumbent upon the visitor to be sensible, careful and respectful but it was great to be able to explore the vast site!
I wanted to take my little girl to the Thomas the tank engine day. Everyone was so kind and lovely. From the very start everyone working there was making the effort. Facilities are clean and it's a nice place. Special thank you to the lady in the gift shop. My little girl wasn't feeling so well so we had to leave early, we didn't get to go on the train. This kind amazing lady gave her two stickers, ran out to me in the car park as I was about to leave and carried my tickets on for tomorrow if my girl is feeling up to it. Never had that happen before. It's a good place to visit with kids and the people are just really kind. Amazing. Definitely going back.
Nice day out with the family. We enjoyed the steam train ride however it was very short! The queue was large as we went during the school holidays. The small museum was nice however there wasn’t much to look at. There was a small steam train ride for £1.50 each which we also tried. The admission ticket cost £12 per adult and there was an offer for children for £1 over the summer break which we used. I would say even the adult ticket price is a bit much considering there isn’t much to look at or do other than the steam train.
We went as an impulsive trip to the railway centre and we were absolutely blown away. They were holding a steam weekend, so we were expecting it to be busy. However, it was so well organised that despite the amount of people in attendance it was a really nice experience. It is spread over a large area and nowhere felt overcrowded or busy. There was a lot to see and do, and my 3 year old had the time of his life. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. There were rides on steam trains, miniature railways, steam engines. It was fantastic.
A fantastic last minute day out with the highlights being a trip on the steam train complete with first class booth and the miniature railway. The museum section is very interesting but note this isn’t restricted to indoors. There are more areas to explore outside - today we spent time in the Royal Mail sorting carriage learning about how mail was transported and sorted on the railways. A very interesting session, thanks to the volunteers for their time going through everything. There were also some vintage cars on display today, and we were lucky enough to have a Lancaster flyover pure chance to end our visit. The cafe does a decent selection of drinks and food for those who need it and there is also a gift shop on the way in/out.
I had the pleasure of visiting the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre Station for a unique wedding celebration. I was truly impressed by the array of vintage locomotives and carriages on display. The station itself was like stepping back in time. It felt like a true museum, showcasing some of the oldest and most remarkable trains in the world. I would highly recommend a visit to the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre Station for anyone interested in trains, history, or looking for a unique venue for a special event.
We love coming here, my little girl is so taken with the "toot toots" as she calls them. Seeing Paddington was the icing on the cake for her.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
This was a fantastic experience. When you first arrive, it’s not immediately obvious that the museum is more than a couple of trains. But, when you go outside it’s clear that the museum is absolutely huge and full of loads of different types of trains, with plenty of buildings to look at. There’s something for everyone here, including a steam train that you can ride on, and a miniature railway which was absolutely charming. The food is pretty good too. The price of the tickets is definitely worth it. I’d recommend this for any railway enthusiasts!
