Kent’s best loved steam railway, The Kent & East Sussex Railway in Tenterden, welcomed 100,000 visitors in 2011.
This is an increase of 7% on 2010’s numbers.
The railway’s General Manager Graham Baldwin said:
“We are delighted that in times of recession our visitor numbers are increasing.
“With the continued support of our 400 volunteers and tourism partners we hope 2012 will also be a good year for the railway.
“Our great value family tickets and popular events programme have contributed to our success and this year we will be adding a number of brand new events which include for families ‘Rock with the Tots’ starring childrens’ TV favourite Fifi Forget-me-Not and her best friend Bumble, a WW1 living history event and in August a sixties revival weekend.”
