Red Timetable – Steam & Heritage Diesel Trains

Saturday's in January, February & March 2025

Take a steam and/or heritage diesel train ride through the High Weald this Winter!
Enjoy a train ride with a steam locomotive and a heritage diesel between Tunbridge Wells West and Eridge, calling at High Rocks and Groombridge. You can sit back and relax letting the train take the strain, which is the perfect way to occupy a cold Winters day in our steam or electrically heated carriages. All children travel for just £1 on our Red timetable days too so a family ticket for two adults and two children is only £34!

Locomotives in use will either be Bulleid Pacific 34053 '303 Squadron', Caledonian Railway No. 828, Class 31/4 31430 'Sister Dora' or Class 73/1 73140.
