Yellow Timetable – Steam Trains to Groombridge only

10th, 11th, 24th, 25th & 26th May 2025

Take a steam and heritage diesel train ride through the High Weald to Groombridge!
On some days of the year we can't operate all the way through to Eridge due to engineering works, but rather than spoil your chance to experience the magnificant power of a steam locomotive we operate like we used to prior to 2011 before we opened to Eridge with trains running between Tunbridge Wells West and delightful village of Groombridge. So, come along and sit back, relax and let the train take the strain, which is perfect on those damp rainy moments or bright sunny days.

Yellow Timetable
Our Yellow timetable operates on dates we cannot operate trains between Groombridge and Eridge due to engineering work on the mainline section of our railway. Click here for our Calendar.
