NLR - School Visits

The Northampton & Lamport Railway welcomes visits from Schools who wish to give their children the opportunity of discovering at first hand how the railways shaped our history. They can experience the sights and sounds of a working railway and find out a little of what life was like for their parents and grandparents.

What was it like for children in the Second World War?

	As part of Unit 9, Year 3/4 children can sample what life was like as an Evacuee during the Second World War. They travel to the station at Pitsford & Brampton, dressed for the 1940's period complete with label and gas mask box.

The railway charges £390 for a diesel hauled 2 coach train (90 seats). If steam haulage is required, the price is available on application.

For further information you may contact us via an email to enquiries@nlr.org.uk or call the booking office on (01604) 820 327 (Telephone manned on Sundays and Bank Holidays - recorded message at other times).
