The Railway is run solely by volunteers to preserve the last remaining part of the Kent Coalfields trains currently run from Shepherdswell to Eythorne (a round trip of 4 miles).
On some special event days trains will also run on the Wigmore Lane extension.
The Railway is also home to the EPB group who preserve and restore Southern Region electric trains and their website can be found via the links page.
Please see our and pages for details of all train times and of events throughout the year.
We have a free membership facility for the website, which includes the ability to post on our forum and receive email updates. Joining is easy and only takes a couple of minutes, you can join by clicking 'join' on the forum page.
