Swanley New Barn Railway

01/01/2025

A big Thank you to all of our supporters who braved the weather to support us today. I am pleased to say that we raised over £500 (including gift aid) for Prostate Cancer UK which will help fund research into this horrible condition.

If anyone else would like to donate, our page is here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/peter-beevers-1734346119777?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABHZpJytF-F2e9TEKWsHYOIcdBa9fz7gTSGlgO5aONt4R8hnm6Jk3LhbfLhA_aem_dCtuRMACIHVaScvQAtVjqw

Please note that the railway will be taking part in the 200 years of railways 'whistle up' event at 12:00 on New Years Day. Passenger numbers permitting, we will aim to gather as many steam locomotives together in the main station for a short whistle blast to signify the start of this major event for our railways.

Today is our first Santa Specials since 2009 (pre booked only for Santa). However a donation service is also available. We are also delighted to introduce our new engine (the lighter blue engine) Tigerlily which will be double heading with Mrs Darling.
