Following an invitation from the Rotary Club of Maidstone, we set up a promotional stall in the gardens of the Archbishop’s Palace at the Maidstone River Festival.
We were able to give advice on how to use Railcards to make travel more affordable, and the idea of exploring new areas of Kent sustainably by rail was well received.
Particular thanks go to our volunteer Dominic Noades for his support on the stall with his unrivalled rail knowledge, and to Clive English, volunteer Chair of our Kent Downs Line, for sharing details of our work with parish councillors attending the event.
As usual we transported our kit between our base at Maidstone West and the site sustainably.
