Fares & Tickets

2023 fares held for 2024

We know money is tight right now, so in 2024 Season you will pay the same as you did in 2023 (ordinary fares only – event fares for Steam & Beer and Santa Specials may be slightly higher). The majority of fares will be available from the ticket office at Sittingbourne Viaduct. There will be some events that require online booking, such as the Experiences or Santa Specials in December – see the event pages for more information.

The time shown in the timetable is the departure time from Sittingbourne Viaduct station so please arrive at the station about 15 minutes earlier to buy your tickets.

Turn-up-and-go fares

A single ticket will get you from Sittingbourne Viaduct station to Kemsley Down but you will have to walk back via Milton Creek Country Park/Saxon Shore Way or walk to Swale station and catch a Southeastern train from there (at extra cost).

A return ticket will enable you to go to Kemsley Down and back.

A rover ticket allows you to catch as many trains as you want on that day.

Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway Members get free travel on the trains so if you think you may visit several times a year, membership could be a cheaper option for you – find out more information here.
