Dark Blue Timetable – Steam & Heritage Diesel Trains

Sunday's in 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. Sit back and relax, letting the train take the strain, which is the perfect way to occupy a winter's Sunday afternoon in our steam or electrically heated carriages. 

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.
