About the event
To coincide with Spa Valley Railway's Steam Gala on the 12th and 13th of July, I've negotiated exclusive early morning access to the engine shed and the yard at Tunbridge Wells Station.
Workshops will run on Saturday and Sunday starting at 7:00 am and finishing at around 9:00 am. This will allow you to take a ride behind one of these engines to and from Eridge Station after the workshop. (Train tickets must be booked separately and are not included in the price of the workshop)
Engines Scheduled for the weekend are:
- GWR Large Prairie No.4144 – Courtesy of the Didcot Railway Centre
- SR Bulleid Pacific No. 34053 'Sir Keith Park'
- SR Bulleid Pacific No. 34072 '257 Squadron'
- Caledonian Railway 812 Class No. 828
- Andrew Barclay No. 2315 'Lady Ingrid'
To ensure your safety, attendees will be required to wear orange Hi-Vis vests and sign a safety briefing and disclaimer form.
The cost of the workshop will be £42, a proportion of which will go to supporting the Spa Valley Railway. Places are limited, so book now via the link below
