Great video. One of the Class 769's (ex-Class 319's) would be right at home on this railway as they could use it in diesel mode. Hopefully 769008 will be preserved as it was 319008 that was formerly named as Cheriton that went through the Channel Tunnel in November 1993, so its got a unique history to that unit. Its currently stored at Long Marston for now.
Before Faversham box closed, there was talk that the panel was going to go to the National Museum at York, due to it's unusual method of displaying which way points were set. I know that didn't happen, but I never knew what became of it. I do now.
An unusual heritage line that scores full marks for eccentricity! There is a strange assortment of rolling stock that you don't often see on a preserved railway. I didn't know of the last class 365 in existence! Thanks for uploading.
Yes it is a unique railway and it is nice to see how it has progressed since my last visit a few years ago , there is now talk of reinstating the line back up to Tilmanstone as the trackbed and platforms are still there though heavily over grown.
There is talk about the railway being extended and reinstated between Eythorne and Tilmanstone as the overgrown track bed and platforms are still there , be great to see that happen in the future.

Really enjoyed the pace of filming, we could actually read the signs and gauge the atmosphere. Thanks.

But it does go up to that station as there’s a little café there or is there a different one?
@@chipking6036No the railway only runs between Shepherdswell and Eythorne.
@@keith800 there’s a little bit of track across the road is that the bit they talking about
@@chipking6036 Yes that is the disused part that carries on to Tilmanstone .
