Great little railway with a nice atmosphere. Although it runs through a mainly industrial landscape which is to be fair not the most picturesque, it has made the best of what it's got and seems to have a nice quirky feel to it. Very nice video, really enjoyed it.

If ever a 'drone's eye' view is required to compliment any future videos, let me know. I live in Sittingbourne.. Pete

Meaning....?

@WOLFROY47 6 лет назад

meaning, with a clean up, and some investment in conveniences, and visiting trains, the length is ok, and theres not much competition

This is a preserved industrial railway that runs on nearly all its' original route. It also uses the original locomotives and coaches from when it served the Sittingbourne paper mills. As to facilities, thanks to serious vandalism in the past such as the burning down of the station building at Sittingbourne, they are probably not inclined to provide more than what is there..
