Kent & East Sussex Railway, Heritage railway museum in Tenterden, United Kingdom
The Kent & East Sussex Railway operates steam and diesel trains along a 10.5-mile track connecting Tenterden station to Bodiam through the Wealden countryside.
The railway line started its restoration in 1974 when train enthusiasts took control of the abandoned tracks, leading to the current operational heritage railway system.
The Colonel Stephens Museum at Tenterden station exhibits the history of Britain's first light railway through artifacts, documents, and model railway displays.
The railway runs five daily services from April to October, with online booking options and special rates for groups visiting the stations and museum facilities.
The historic Cavell Van at Bodiam station transported the Unknown Warrior to London in 1920 and remains preserved for visitors to examine.
