Nene Valley Railway:

The heritage steam & diesel railway line, known as the Nene Valley Railway, runs for Peterborough (Nene Valley) station to Wansford station via Orton Mere, Ferry Meadows, and beyond Wansford to Yarwell Junction.

 So, of we go for a great steam train ride through pleasant countryside on this great heritage railway line and live steam action is the real deal!
