Trains return to the GCR(N)! Our full size railway is operating on selected weekends throughout the 2025 season - and there's no better way to see Nottinghamshire than from a heritage train.

Trains running on both Saturday and Sunday
Model Railway Exhibition (Day 1)
Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre's annual model railway exhibition returns this year with even more display space - now over 10,000sq.ft.!
Our depot at Ruddington Fields is home to numerous heritage vehicles, some ready for action, some ready for restoration.
We are a volunteer-run company, responsible for the preserved Great Central Main Line north of Loughborough, including Rushcliffe Halt and the branch to Ruddington Fields, our base.
You don't have to be a railway professional to be part of it. Our team is made up of all sorts of people, each with a pair of boots and the enthusiasm to build something remarkable.
Once part of the Great Central Main Line from Sheffield to London, our route runs from Ruddington (just south of Nottingham) to the northern edge of Loughborough.
