  • Railworld was originally envisaged as a rival to the excellent National Rail Museum (NRM) at York.

    Unfortunately through years of amatuerish management Railworld, mainly by a well meaning but etheral priest, it is really not worth visiting ; unless you are a die-hard train fan and belong to that bobble-hatted, thermos flask carrying tribe.

    See for yourself at www.railworld.net

    At Least Do This: It's only 3 pounds and keeps the rain off.
    Alternative: Enjoy the Nene Vally Railway (adjacent) or visit the NRM in York

     An interesting visit to your hometown. Peterborough seems like a very nice place to get lost

     It's still there?? I remember swimming there in the 60's and 70's. I think I did a 20 mile walk to raise money for the "new" indoor pool round the back :)
