Diesel Train Cab Rides

This unique opportunity allows you to view the K&ESR from a totally different perspective. You'll travel with the driver in the cab of the diesel train on a scheduled passenger service. Whilst sharing a 'driver's eye view' of the signals, points, bridges and stations, your driver will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the line, operation of the controls or the techniques employed in driving.

Our cab rides are open to those over the age of 18 years. The train departs from Tenterden Town Station at at the times stated below (we suggest you arrive no less than 20 minutes prior) and the return journey last approximately 1 hour 50 minutes.
