Autumn Work Weekends

After this weekend, the Railway will close until Santa Specials in December and then the 2023 Season which starts in April. In the meantime, we need help preparing the Railway for Christmas, then the Season. There’s lots to do, including setting up a new museum and reconstructing the platform at Sittingbourne Viaduct station to enable step-free access to the train. Find out more here.
