The Green Timetable will be operating this Sunday and Monday

Trains will be operating on Sunday and Monday, departing Sittingbourne Viaduct station at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm & 4pm. 

We won’t be going Coronation mad so if you need a break from it, why not come to the Railway and chill out.

You can’t book tickets in advance – just turn up 15 minutes before departure time to buy your tickets at the ticket office and you’ll be good to go!

Please check our website, Facebook Page or Twitter (@SandKLR) before you leave home to make sure everything’s going to plan. Also, please note that there are roadworks on the A249/M2 interchange which often closes the A249 between the M2/A249 roundabout and Sittingbourne – use real time journey planners, such as Google Maps, to check your route – our car park is at ME10 2XD or on what3words we are: format.fits.trains


Let’s put the Boiler back in Superb

On Saturday, we had a special party to celebrate winning the Coiley Award for Steam Locomotive Engineering on Saturday, giving out celebratory mugs to members who donated time or money to the restoration of Premier.

Our next project is more modest but also more urgent – we need to repair and reinstate Superb’s boiler because 99-year old Melior will be coming out of service next Spring, leaving us with just one operational steam locomotive.

Money can be donated via our fundraising page and time can be donated by emailing us at volunteer@sklr.net or visit www.sklr.net/Superb for more information.
