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 on this site) by our Peckett steam locomotive "Jurassic". It is possible to break your journey at our Seathorne Bank station and enjoy a refreshing cuppa or cold drink in our picnic area.
Our 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.
"My wife and I received great hospitality from the railway`s volunteers when we visited in July this year... Our visit made for a really delightful day out which is thoroughly recommended."
"Very friendly and knowledgable staff, souvenirs to buy and a very pleasant trip."
"Superb railway in a superb park well worth the visit. Open carriage passenger rides excellent friendly staff."
"One of Britains Top 20 seaside railways" - Heritage Railway magazine.
"Jurassic" was built by Bristol company of Peckett & Sons in 1903 for the company`s cement quarries at Southam. It worked there until 1956 when it was sold to the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway.
In 2026 it will require extensive boiler work to allow it to continue to steam at Skegness. This will cost in the region of £25,000 for which the LCLR has launched an appeal to allow this work to proceed.
Update 1/9/25 A big thank-you to everyone who has donated to the JURASSIC APPEAL FUND to pay for retubing the boiler at the end of season in 2026. As of September 1st the fund stands at £10,199.67, so we are well on the way to reach our target and keep Jurassic in steam for another 10 years.
Seathorne Bank station opened on 28th June 25 - with its own picnic area & outdoor games!
Why not alight at Seathorne Bank station, grab a tea, coffee, or a cold drink, and unwind in our new picnic area, whilst the children show off their skills with our outdoor games Jenga Blocks, Connect 4, skipping and others - P.S. don`t forget to bring your own picnic, though we do stock a small range of snacks.
