Great Central Railway (Nottingham)

The Great Central Railway (Nottingham) offers over 10 miles of heritage railway running through the beautiful scenery of South Nottinghamshire and North-West Leicestershire.

Journeys begin at Ruddington, just south of Nottingham, and continue through to East Leake and Loughborough. Our facilities at Ruddington include a Model Railway, Miniature Railways, a Bus Collection and railway workshop and engineering facilities, as well as a cafeteria and gift shop. There's plenty to see and do at our Ruddington base, so we aren't just a train ride - be sure to make time to see all our attractions and facilities.

Services are pulled by heritage Steam and Diesel locomotives, re-creating the experience of train travel from a time when it was more than just a means to get from one place to another. The Great Central Railway (Nottingham) is a great experience for all the family. Come and enjoy a day with us!

The Great Central Railway (Nottingham) boasts over nine miles of track from Ruddington to Loughborough on the old Great Central Railway line. Trains run to Rushcliffe Halt, and on some occasions to Loughborough, offering an18 mile round trip. 

Not only do we offer the experience of travelling on the old GCR main line, but we also are home to the Nottingham Society of Model and Electrical Engineers (NSMEE) offering rides on their small gauge tracks

Being set in the beautiful Rushcliffe Country Park, visitors can plan a complete day out, which offers attractive scenery, a network of footpaths, a wildlife lake, .an excellent children's play area and a kiosk selling teas, coffees and ice creams. Ruddington village Centre (approx 20 minute walk from the Heritage Centre station) has pubs and shops.

Mums, Dads and Grandparents: We operate every Saturday and Sunday during every half-term and school holiday!
