Thanks to the generosity of the public and a donation from the Maidstone Leisure Trust of £150, we have now received sufficient donations to cover the cost of the materials to replace the missing track.  We therefore feel it is only right to turn down  any further offers from people who wish to send money at this time.

We are working as quickly as we can to restore the track so that we can resume our normal Sunday afternoon rides to the public.  This does entail a lot of work for us as so much damage has been done to the track bed when the track was torn from the fixings.

We are running a restricted service on Sunday afternoons until the work is complete and there will be a donation box at the station for anyone having a ride wishes to give a little extra.

On the following Wednesday, the Wednesday Gang made great progress and installed all of the new wooden sleepers.
