Spa Valley Railway - SVR - Steam Train - Tunbridge Wells, Groombridge And High Rocks
A charitable society was formed to fight for the reopening of the Tunbridge Wells to Eridge railway line. The group named itself, Tunbridge Wells and Eridge Railway Preservation Society (TWERPS). The campaign was a long struggle, but in the early 1990's the society acquired the line and by winter 1996 they were running trains 1/2 a mile of track towards Groombridge, hauled by RSH 0-6-0T "North Downs". This was helped by a merger between TWERPS and the North Downs Steam Railway at Dartford, Kent. The line was named as a result of a competition and so became the Spa Valley Railway.
The Spa Valley Railway runs for 3½ miles through the picturesque Kentish Weald countryside between the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells and the village of Groombridge, stopping off in between at High Rocks.
