This page contains photographs from a day trip on the RH&DR. I caught a train from London Victoria to Folkestone and then a taxi to Hythe station. It was at the time of the petrol shortages and I didn't wish to drive from London. I planned the route so that I could visit every station on the line without having to wait too long at each. This was the timetable:
I have included some photos of stations taken when I was a kid, back in the 70s and early 80s for comparison purposes. It was a fine, warm day, with few clouds. Perfect for a trip on the smallest public railway in the world! Let's get going! Hythe
The north easterly terminus on the RH&DR, Hythe.
Inside the terminus. Note the engine release road between the main tracks to allow the engines to be turned around on the turntable. The points are sprung and don't need any controls.
No 14, "Captain Howey", waiting to depart with the 10.30 to Dungeness. New Romney
