Herne Bay Land Train

Sunday 26 to Friday 31 July

Enjoy a unique and fun new way to get around the seafront and town this summer, when a land train takes to the streets for a week in late July!

Timings: 10am to 4pm daily, approximately every 45 minutes. (The driver will take a break 1-1.30pm and the last train from The Pier will be around 3pm)

Pricing: An all day, hop-on hop-off ticket, will cost £2 per person, with no charge for children under the age of three.

Route: The train will follow a circular route around the town.

PLEASE NOTE: Canterbury City Council are running this as a trial. Evidence from the first few days shows most people are getting on at The Pier and doing a full circle. This means people have been unable to get on at the other stops. As such, we have closed the stops at William Street, The Ship Inn, Wimereux Square and Memorial Park. You cannot get on the train in these four places, but you can still get off, on request to the driver. Passengers can now only board at The Pier.

Booking:  We will be selling tickets on a first-come, first-served basis each day at the entrance to the pier 

Payment: Payment is by card only.

Additional information/ accessibility: Well-behaved dogs are allowed during quieter periods but must remain on a short lead on the carriage floor at all times.

Folded pushchairs/buggies are allowed if space permits, but there is not enough room for scooters and bikes.  

For this trial project, an accessible carriage for wheelchair users was not available for hire, but this will be important for any future land train plans in the town.

Local offers from businesses in William Street (Until Friday 31 July):

  • Seaside Museum - free entry with a land train wristband
  • The Old Sweet Shop - free sweets for the first 10 children with a wristband every day
  • Cut Above 1 barbers - a free train ride with a haircut
