After our daily running service on the 16th July to celebrate our 95th Anniversary we’ll be ‘riding the rails’ in a different form.

For the last 95 years, RH&DR has been transporting passengers between Hythe and Dungeness.

As an organisation RH&DR, its staff and volunteers, are very conscious of their responsibility to protect the environment, respond to changes in passengers expectations, whilst retaining the magic of traveling behind one of our world famous fleet of Locomotives.

To help raise funds towards our new and exciting environmental projects, a group of eight staff and volunteers from the railway have set themselves the challenge of taking it in turns to ‘ride the rails’, peddling a rail bike between Hythe and New Romney.

Whist steam remains central to RH&DR, everyone involved in this bike ride recognises the need to embrace new technology and by doing so reduce the railways environmental impact.

So please help to ensure that RHDR are transporting passengers of all ages, for the next 95 years, by supporting our Sponsored Bike Ride and help secure RHDR’s future.

You can sponsor our volunteers as they fundraise for our Community Benefit Society

A train will run parallel to the cyclists to provide support from friends and family members. You too could travel on this service for a suggested donation of £20.

The team will be made up of several long standing members or staff and volunteers including General Manager, Danny Martin.
