Sittingbourne Viaduct Work Weekend
This weekend is another Sittingbourne Viaduct Work Weekend as work continues to replace half of the platform with a new concrete structure which is taller and wider to enable step-free access to be extended to the train.
Work starts at 10am both days, the car park will be open. Tea & coffee will be provided but you will have to provide your own lunch.
See the Work Weekends page for more information.

Work underway at Sittingbourne Viaduct station – the concrete beams will carry the concrete planking forming the platform. On the left, weed blocking material has been laid. Barton Hall stands on the platform line in the background. (Photo: Liz Fuller)
