We picked Daisy up from Ashford and were at a loose end due to the weather. "Where shall we go? - let's go and see more trains at Tenterden". As we arrived the rain stopped and didn't start again until we left two and half hours later. £1 each for two platform tickets and off we went.
The line is ten and a half miles long and runs all the way to a station in Bodiam castle in East Susssex.
By this time it was time to eat so we found some dry seats in a picnic area to have lunch, the rain still holding off, just we returned to the platform for a last look.
Well a quick dash for the car and back home we went in the rain which thankfully gave us a great time there in between the rain.
nite nite all, luv Mike XX

ReplyDeleteYep, I am just amazed at the British weather.
ReplyDeleteI have been on that Line, was very good, was some years ago, I remember bumping into Chaz by chance complete with his railway Hat and huge camcorder in those days. Another little rail museum i found very interesting is at Peene Just off the a20 near ch\tunnel folkstone. the3 link as follows http://www.elhamvalleylinetrust.org

Hi Ken, will check Peene out.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very good morning and gave Daisy some new experiences, the loud toot made her jump then laugh the first time and after that she just laughed. She enjoyed seeing the level crossing gates being opened and closed for cars and trains and was interested in the way the wheels fitted on the tracks. Just the right age to see all these things.
