New bridge allows Kent based railway to reopen this weekend! Following a fundraising appeal and events, such as their Ale Festival, the Spa Valley Railway is able to reopen this weekend.

The railway has two years to pay the money owed for the new bridge, so their fundraising page is still live, and they are grateful for donations of any size. www.railadvent.co.uk/2026/04/new-bridge-allow... #kent #SpaValleyRailway
