Enjoy a return trip along the whole line between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead stations aboard ‘Queen Mary’ Brake Van 56290.
Our own Class 09 Diesel Shunter D4106 will haul this special service. Your journey will take around 1 ¾ hours and your ticket price includes a lovely bacon butty. (Your butty can be collected from the Bessemer Arms either before or after your trip)
This trip is bound to be very popular – don’t miss your chance – book your place now!
