You can travel on some historic trains on the Nene Valley Railway which comes close to the village and now has a platform for joining or leaving the train at Yarwell Junction. The platform is a reasonable walk from the road via the Mill and a footpath through woods / fields, so leave plenty of time if you're aiming for a specific train. Just up from the platform is a recently installed mail bag collecting rig, used to pass mail bags to and from passing trains.
