Autism Day a Sensory Success at Heritage Railway

Nene Valley Railway recently hosted a successful event to mark World Autism Awareness Day. The initiative provided a quiet and safe environment for families, particularly those with autistic members, to enjoy a day out. Visitors traveled on the popular Thomas steam train between Wansford and Yarwell.

Parents expressed gratitude for the understanding atmosphere, noting how it eased the stress often associated with public outings. The event aimed to foster inclusivity and raise awareness about autism within the community.

Proceeds from the day will support the Autism Railway Crew. This group works to promote greater inclusion and awareness across the railway network. The organizers highlighted the importance of understanding and supporting autism in its various forms.
