Marcia will be at Tenterden to take part in the

Rail 200 "Whistle Up "

Looking to blow away the cobwebs on New Year’s Day?

Well, why not come for a ride behind Marcia?

Marcia will be hauling her first passenger trains on the K&ESR for (we think) over 40 years!

Three shuttles are planned from Tenterden Town to Rolvenden departing at 10:50, 12:50 and 14:30 (download a copy of the special timetable here). Two other steam locos will be in operation alongside Marcia making it a great day out. Freedom tickets are valid for travel on these and all other public trains during the day.

Please do wrap up warm. Marcia can’t provide steam heating on the shuttles, so it may be a little chilly inside the planned vintage 4-wheel carriages. If you travel on the shuttles to Rolvenden, please note that you will need to alight at Rolvenden whilst the train goes to the carriage shed for Marcia to 'run round' ready to haul the train back to Tenterden - but it does give you time (up to 35 minutes) to visit the viewing gallery to see the other locomotives in Rolvenden yard.

Please note that the accommodation on the shuttle services is limited, available only on a first come first served basis, and that there are no public facilities available at Rolvenden Station.

A great time to visit for a cracking day out this Festive Season!
