Welcome To Our Railway

Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway, Skegness Water Leisure Park,     Walls Lane, Ingoldmells, Skegness, PE25 1JF

The Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway (LCLR) is a 60 cm narrow gauge heritage railway, approximately 0.75 miles long, situated in Ingoldmells at the award winning Skegness Water Leisure Park on the beautiful Lincolnshire Coast. On our summer operating days you can ride in one of our historic railway carriages, pulled by either one of our historic diesel locomotives, or on steam days (see dates opposite) by our Peckett steam locomotive "Jurassic". The diesel locos are based on designs for WW1 trench railways, which later powered transport for agriculture and industry throughout Lincolnshire and the wider world. Our steam locomotive "Jurassic" was built in 1903 and spent her working life at a cement works in Southam, near Rugby. Following restoration at the LCLR she returned to steam in mid 2017.

Our collection of historic WW1 trench railway vehicles are demonstrated on gala days, and can normally be viewed on operating days. More details of the collection on the LCLR Historic Vehicles Trust page.

Coronation Weekend Trains

Jurassic was in steam on Sun 7th May, complete with Coronation Headboard. 


LCLR Chairman Richard Shepherd taking delivery of newly upholstered seats, from Russ at Windale Furnishings in Skegness, for the restoration of Ashover No1 coach at the railway. The fabric was sourced by the railway and is a genuine railway pattern. Windale Furnishings then offered to reupholster the seats as their contribution to the restoration of our historic coach. The LCLR is very grateful for this extremely kind gesture and we look forward to being able to offer them a ride in the completed coach very soon!
