50th Anniversary Gala Kent and East Sussex Railway

About

The Gala weekend will not only celebrate the achievements of the last 50 years of the railway, but will also look forward to its next chapter, in collaboration with the Rother Valley Railway - which is preparing to start the groundwork for restoration of the line between Robertsbridge and Bodiam.
K&ESR Gala tickets will enable visitors to travel to and from Robertsbridge via a heritage bus service from Bodiam Station. Using the same ticket visitors can then ride the shuttle train service, hauled by special guest locomotive BR Standard Class 7 Locomotive No 70000 Britannia, between Robertsbridge Junction and Northbridge Street: a stretch of line that has not been in operation since 2013. Please note that regrettably there is currently no ramped access to the platform at Robertsbridge, as the station is still under construction, and there are no disabled facilities on the vintage bus or the Northbridge Street shuttle services.
Robertsbridge Junction will host displays about the plans to rebuild the line and the chance to see the restored turntable from Hither Green.
