Mother's Day Timetable – Steam & Heritage Diesel Trains

Sunday 30th March – Mum's travel for £1 when accompanied by a full-fare paying child or another adult!

Take a steam and/or heritage diesel train ride through the High Weald on Mother's Day!
Treat Mum to a steam train ride between Tunbridge Wells West and Eridge, stopping at High Rocks and Groombridge. Sit back and relax, letting the train take the strain—the perfect way to enjoy Mother's Day. Alternatively, why not take the train to one of the many pubs along the line and treat Mum to a wonderful lunch?

Alternatively, we'd love for you to join us for Afternoon Tea on Mother's Day; click here for details.

Locomotives in use will either be Bulleid Pacific 34053 '303 Squadron', Class 31/4 31430 'Sister Dora' or Class 73/1 73140.

Mum's for a Quid!
On Mother's Day, all mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers can travel on any standard train service (not dining or driver experiences) for just £1 when accompanied by a full-fare-paying child or another adult.
