This week (21st-27th June)

We’re running every Sunday throughout July too!

Due to the extension of the current restrictions, the COVID-19 Timetable has been extended until Sunday 25th July.

We aim to open on Wednesday 28th July but will have to judge the impact of restrictions nearer the time.

The COVID-19 Timetable, social distancing and COVID-secure train will be in operation. There will, however, be no special events in June or July.

The COVID-19 Timetable is 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.

The Footplate Café is open with limited seating inside the air-conditioned building and the Railway Shop is also open, however, the Museum remains closed due to damage caused by a leak in the roof.

Tickets can be booked now click here to see the COVID-19 page or click the Book Now button to go straight to our ticket booking agent – TicketSource.

You must book by 5pm the day before travel as the booking system will be closed after that time. This weekend’s locomotive is Leader.
