1066 Hastings to Tonbridge

The 1066 Line Hastings to Tonbridge Southeast Communities Rail Partnership are pleased to be working with Southeastern Railways on our community rail line between Hastings and Tonbridge. From historic towns to stunning countryside down to the sea the line has so much to offer visitors and local communities alike. After a challenging start during the start of the pandemic we have been thrilled to meet so many communities who would like to get involved with their stations and railway. Community partners range from gardeners, poets, artists, parish and town councils, station staff to the High Weald AONB. If you would like to be involved in a community project or improvement at any of the stations please do contact us and tell us your ideas.
