A visit to the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway on the 13th of July 2008. The locomotive is Bagnall 0-6-2T 'Triumph', & this first video encompasses the trip out from Sittingbourne Viaduct station to Kemsley Down station.
Havn't been there in ages, shame its closed down but Mellior is at Preston Services where they have set up a track so vistors can ride along the bit they have layed.
but i dont think its closing anymore. i think its being saved. i live very near 2 it and i havnt herd anythin rcntly bout it clsing. my dad used 2 b a rporter for the locl paper & he was spposd 2 b 1 of the the 1st people 2 know the verdict.fngrs crossed itll stay open. also the paper mill hasnt been toched. the car parks still thre & the gates look like thy wre used just ystrday. there also used 2 b a bridge but a lorry went into it and the line nvr went into the mill again.
I live in Sittingbourne but never got to ride on this . Real shame its closing, its Sittingbournes best(and only) attraction! Ps why you driving backwards?
My last video was taken here in 2000 - sorry it will close - perhaps the Paper people should have donated the land - before the foreigners took over. It's a genuine piece of Old England.

Yes. There's no other preserved railway quite like it.

Yeah, I thought I'd recognised you from the Romney Double-Header but wasn't sure!
