Only 2 days left of the school summer holidays and what a summer it has been. We finally reopened the railway after a restoration from a delapidated state. Trains have not been run like this since 2019.

Thank you to all our wonderful customers, the support has been overwhelming. Also thank you to our amazing volunteers who have worked tirelessly to maintain a good daily service throughout the holiday, never missing a single day since we reopened.

We will be open Saturdays/Sundays from 11am until 4pm until the end of September.

The Wat Tyler Visitor Centre car park has been re-hatched to help make it clearer where the parking bays are. Please be mindful of the "keep clear" areas and the "coach bay", these are in constant use and should not be blocked, thank you.
