Choo choo choose a great day out!

Celebrate Thomas’s 70th birthday

Thomas the Tank Engine will be pulling into Tenterden Station on 14, 15 and 21, 22 February 2015, and he’s bringing some of his favourite friends too!

Next year sees the 70th birthday of The Railway Series by the Rev W Awdry and the release of its first book, The Three Railway Engines.

So, go and meet the Fat Controller and take a ride on Annie and Clarabel behind Thomas at Tenterden station. Look out for a naughty diesel engine and the troublesome trucks.

Everyone can experience an enchanting one hour, 10 minute return steam train ride through picturesque countryside between Tenterden and Northiam Station.

Don’t miss all the activities with Uncle Myles, Charlie the Clown and Billy the Magic Rabbit. There will also be face painting, roundabout rides and a bouncy castle.

The Fat Controller will open the gates at 10 am each day and trains depart from Tenterden at 10.20 am, 10.55 am, 11.50 am, 12.25 pm, 1.20 pm, 1.55 pm and 2.50 pm.
