This week (18-24th November)

It’s a Work Weekend – we’ve got loads of work to do to get the Railway ready for Santa’s visit next week!

If you’ve never volunteered before, these are a good opportunity to see behind the scenes and get involved in preserving and maintaining the Railway. A Works Train will depart Sittingbourne Viaduct station at 10am, returning at 4pm, and lunch will be provided as the work is mostly at Kemsley Down. This will be the last Work Weekend until January.

Work will also be carried out on Wednesdays – our Carriage & Wagon and Gardening departments will be busy working on maintenance, if you’d like to join them, email info@sklr.net and we’ll arrange for you to be met at Kemsley Paper Mill car park as a Works Train will not be running.

Passenger trains return for Santa Specials on Saturday 30th November, then every Saturday & Sunday until Christmas. Pre-booking is essential to ensure we have enough food and presents to go round.

Our 2020 Season timetable is being finalised but we are expecting to reopen on Sunday 5th April.
