Lner trainspotter · 13-09-2025

Very enjoyable day

We met as part of a group of seven and, after coffee, we were given a tour of the locomotive shed, the carriage works and a signal box. After a provided lunch in the restaurant we had a return ride of the full length on the line, followed by a tour of the museum. Our guide was very knowledgeable without being overpowering and the whole day moved along very smoothly.

Wonderful Nostalgic Day

I had a wonderful day at the Kent and East Sussex heritage centre. The guide was so professional, informative and entertaining and what the day provided was exceptionally good.

Fantastic Heritage Railway

I spent the day on a ‘behind the scenes experience’ which was amazing. Dave our guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and a charming character guiding us through multiple aspects of the sheds, signal box and museum. He has a vest wealth and breath of train related knowledge and happily answered lots of questions. All volunteers were lovely and steamies were brilliant. I’ll be back for more train rides x
