Catch the Early Bird Train This Summer! 🚂🌞

Make the most of those long, sunny days with our special Early Bird trains, running most Wednesdays and Saturdays from 23rd July to the end of August!

Departing bright and early at 08:45 from Tenterden Town Station, these special services give you extra time to explore the full line — from charming Tenterden to the historic beauty of Bodiam.

Don’t miss the hidden gem at Bodiam Station: a secret garden lovingly looked after by our volunteers. It’s the perfect spot for a family picnic, a quiet break, or just to soak up the summer vibes before heading back.
