This week (9-15th September)

We’re now in the last few weeks of 2019 Season – the 50th Anniversary of the Handover of the Railway by Bowaters Paper Mills will be celebrated over Gala Weekend on 28th & 29th. In the meantime, we continue to run every Sunday.

On Sunday, trains depart Sittingbourne Viaduct station at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm. Trains return from Kemsley Down at 1.35pm, 2.35pm, 3.35pm and 4.45pm.

The journey takes 15 minutes each way.

There’s plenty to see and do at Kemsley Down too, particularly the Wheels of Time exercise for children, the museum, shop and Footplate Café so allow two hours for a relaxed visit.

The Footplate Café now has air conditioning so if the breeze off Milton Creek isn’t enough, you can cool down in the Café!

Return fares for the 2019 Season are:

  • Adults – £7
  • Concessions – £6
  • Children (aged 3-15) – £3.50
  • Children (under 3) – free
  • Family (2 adults and up to 4 children) – £20
  • Other fares are available such as rover and single tickets
