Kent & Sussex Railway


Having watched albeit briefly the Kent & Sussex Railway in action yesterday, we decided we would actually take a ride today. So early this afternoon we were at Tenterden Town station ready to catch the vintage special for the ten mile ride to Bodiam and back.  

Detail of Bodiam, the only engine remaining that saw service on the original line
