RHDR website says
From 09:30 on Saturday morning the Railway
will be running a train timetable for 33 consecutive
hours through the night until 6:30 Sunday evening. This timetable will be the first of its kind in
RH&DR history and is sure to be an exciting experience for all.

Saturday morning will begin with a parallel run
departing New Romney to ease into the days
activities as the Railway begins to run the most
intense service ever attempted throughout the
Hythe section before reducing to hourly running
as we continue into the night.

Sunday will play host to Hercules’ 90 mile
challenge and will end with a procession of all
steam engines (that can travel through the tunnel)
for a trip around Dungeness and back.

No.5 engine Hercules, recently back from intermediate overhaul, will be the star of the
show, with all other available locos and visiting
engines from at least two other railways adding
to the spectacle.

Weekend tickets are available
to purchase from www.rhdr.org.uk

May 2017 Foxy becomes "The Cornish Riviera Express " on The Kent and East Sussex Railway

11 May 2017 and  Foxy becomes  "The Cornish Riviera Express " on The Kent and East Sussex Railway

The Cornish Riviera Express is a  express passenger train that has run between London Paddington and Penzance in Cornwall since 1904. Introduced by the Great Western Railway, the name Cornish Riviera Express has been applied to the late morning express train from London to Penzance continuously through nationalisation under British Rail and privatisation under First Great Western, only ceasing briefly during the two World Wars. The name is also applied to the late morning express train running in the opposite direction from Penzance to London. Through performance and publicity the Cornish Riviera Express has become one of the most famous named trains in the United Kingdom and is particularly renowned for the publicity employed by the Great Western Railway in the 1930s which elevated it to iconic status.

 Today it is operated by Great Western Railway (train operating company).
