Join us for this unique journey along the route of one of the world’s most famous and prestigious named trains, the ‘GOLDEN ARROW’.

Starting from Dover, we begin our journey in the ‘up’ direction along the original route, taking in the spectacular views of the famous White Cliffs, before powering past Folkestone. Climbing away from the coastline, we continue at high speed running alongside the High Speed Mainline (HS1) as far as Ashford, before racing up the Mainline towards Headcorn. After Tonbridge we lift our 500 ton train up the steep climb to Sevenoaks via Hildenborough and negotiate the complex network of lines as we make our way back towards the capital, finally arriving at London VIctoria.

With live sound recorded from the locomotive, we bring the action right to you. This program also features commentary titles & locations, along with driver’s commentary, lineside shots & footplate footage.

Locomotive Featured: SR Rebuilt Merchant Navy, No. 35028 ‘Clan Line’
