For the second year in a row, the Kent and East Sussex Railway has won TripAdvisor’s Traveller’s Choice Award.

The award highlights their great reviews, which placed them in the top 10% of listings of places to visit.

The past 12 months of authentic reviews won them the award.

This award is another on their growing list of accomplishments, including the Visit England Quality Assured Visitor Attraction mark and Best Family Experience in Kent at the Muddy Stilettos Awards 2025.

 “We are honoured and humbled to have once again earned a coveted top spot on Trip Advisor through the reviews of our customers, as well as securing our Visit England Quality Assurance mark.

“Delivering a first-class experience, day in and day out, takes a huge team effort from our staff and our wonderful army of volunteers. Our heartfelt thanks therefore go not only to our wonderful visitors for their support and positive reviews but to the dedicated home team who truly keep things ‘on track’ and deliver such high-quality customer service time and time again.

“We look forward to welcoming many more visitors to experience living history at the K&ESR and a step away from the everyday on our wonderful heritage line.”

K&ESR Chairman Derrick Bilsby
