We ran or co-run five outings in the course of 2017, and have run three so far in 2018; thank you for supporting these outings!
We continue to formulate plans for future railtours, taking into account the various restrictions imposed by weekend engineering work and the availability of traincrew.
Details of, and booking-instructions for, our future railtours will appear here when they are available; when that happens, those on our emailing list & our followers on Twitter will receive notifcation.
We are progressing outline plans for railtours as follows:
Saturday 1 September 2018: NO OUTING: unfortunately it
has proved impossible to run an outing in September, because of the
closure of Sevenoaks tunnel and resulting lack of available paths through
the main diversionary route via Redhill.
Saturday 8 December 2018: Proposed pre-Christmas trip, maybe taking in London Charing Cross, maybe Grain and Angerstein Wharf
Until properly advertised, these outline plans are unavoidably subject to cancellation, modification or change of date (except where stated to the contrary).
It is a condition of holding a ticket for any outing on our train that passengers abide by the letter and spirit of our Code of Conduct.
We continue to endeavour to keep our passengers safe by not allowing them to lean out of our train’s windows. This notice contains further information.
It may be possibile for you to bring your folding bicycle on the Hastings DEMU, with prior written approval; our guidelines on carriage of folding bikes will help you to determine your bike’s suitability for carriage.
We can recommend a dip into the HDL Railtour archive, which contains details of all the previous “days out” which HDL has operated to date.
