This week (12-18th April)

We’re reopening on Sunday 2nd May

The COVID-19 Timetable, social distancing and COVID-secure train will be in operation. 

This means we will be restricted to running three trains per day, departing Sittingbourne Viaduct station at 11.30am, 1.15pm and 3pm. We will have the same ticketing arrangements as last year – tickets are for a whole compartment of up to 4 adults and 2 children for a return trip costing £20 per compartment.

Tickets can be booked now click here to see the COVID-19 page or click on the May Steamings image to go straight to our ticket booking agent – TicketSource.

Let’s get back to work!
