    Friendly little line excellent for family day out

    a quirky little line and ideal day out for young children. We visited during the Jack the Station cat event. The railway's fares are already very reasonable, and they don't charge extra when holding special events. We had taken our 1 year old daughter who...More

    Lovely people and excellent price

    What a lovely wee ditty of a trip. I mean, the sight out the window is pretty bleak (it is Sittingbourne after all) but the cute station and lovely play area at Kemsley more than made up for it. All lovely volunteers, and really helpful....More

    A lovely little original industrial line with loads of character. Staff very pleasant and happy and helpful. Facilities are very smart and clean. I'd recommend a visit to anyone who has 2 or 3 hours spare and fancies a steam engine ride.

    A slice of a preserved way of life.

    The men and women who run, maintain and volunteer all their spare time, to this little piece of social and economic history; are simply wonderful and admirable people. We've lived near to Sittingbourne for 6 years and hadn't known that this existed. So at long...More

    Lovely local train ride, Saw a part of the town I didn't know. Though it runs through the industrial area that was what it was built for. Excellent!
