ENJOY HERITAGE STEAM AND DIESEL TRAIN RIDES IN THE HEART OF THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNTRYSIDE

The Northampton & Lamport Railway (NLR) is a volunteer-run heritage railway just a few miles north of Northampton. It uses part of the former LNWR Northampton to Market Harborough line, which was closed by BR in 1981.

Volunteers have rebuilt the railway from scratch since 1984. We now operate over a distance of 2 miles between Pitsford & Brampton and Boughton, offering steam and/or heritage diesel trains most Sundays, as well as on some Saturdays and Bank Holidays during special events.

30th anniversary year!: 2026 is a very special year for our railway, marking the 30 years since the official opening ceremony in 1996.

For full information on our running days and events, see our What’s On page.

Book in advance and SAVE: Online advance ticket prices for normal running days held from 2025 prices!
