Reopen to Passenger Services

Saturday - 18th April 2026

We reopened to passenger services on Saturday, returning our trains to Eridge for the first time since 22nd February 2026.

I was able to travel on the first round trip, travelling on the footplate for the Eridge to Tunbridge Wells West journey, what a proud moment it was.  Our humble Railway has achieved it's biggest and most significant project to date.

It was fantastic to see supporters out on the train and lineside, with everyone pleased with what has been achieved.

Well done to everyone involved, it's an incredible achievement.  There are minor "finishing" items to complete, but we are operating trains again!
