A PAIR of steam era icons will visit two Sussex heritage lines to headline very different gala events – with one set to be a significant preservation first.
As the Kent & East Sussex Railway prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary on June 1/2, the first visitor announced, BR Standard 7 4-6-2 No. 70000 , will not be traversing the line between Tenterden Town and Bodiam but instead will be operating trips along the currentlyisolated Rother Valley Railway at Robertsbridge end of the original line
