Description

Steam through beautiful countryside on the Kent and East ###### Railway, recognised as both the country’s finest and first example of a rural light railway. The main station is in the charming town of Tenterden where you can buy your tickets and learn about the history of the railway before stepping aboard a preserved steam or diesel train to travel a route that’s been used for more than a century. Designed to serve rural villages, the railway opened in 1900 and originally ran between ############# and Tenterden. By the 1950s passengers were no longer carried on the line and trains stopped altogether in 1961 but it was not long before a team of railway enthusiasts got together and formed a society to preserve what they could of the railway – ten and a half miles of track between Tenterden and ###### – and since 1974, the Kent and East ###### Railway has operated as a tourist attraction. Passengers today may notice the tightly curved line and steep gradients as trains wend their way.

Growth history is still building. We hold one measurement for this entry. A trend needs at least two, taken days apart — so this will fill in on its own rather than being estimated. We do not publish numbers we have not measured.
