Famous steam train from bygone era to pass through Eynsford on Saturday

STEAM train travel from a bygone era will be making an appearance in Eynsford on Saturday (26 October) when The Golden Arrow passes through the village, complete with all the regalia it displayed while pulling carriages on the continental boat train.

The Golden Arrow first made an appearance in the UK in May 1929 when Southern Railway introduced the train on the route between London Victoria and Dover to coincide with the launch of a new first class only ship, the Canterbury, for the ferry crossing to France.

The journey from London took 98 minutes and ordinary first- and third-class carriages were added in 1931 when the Canterbury was also modified to allow other classes of passenger.

On Saturday, The Golden Arrow Iron Duke 70014 will be leaving London Victoria at 10.45am and will be making a journey to Canterbury West. The estimated time of arrival is around 1.20pm.

For train enthusiasts, keen photographers, or just interested parties, it is expected to cross the Eynsford Viaduct at around 11.15am.

Such is the interest in this train that every available seat, costing from £65 – £250 is sold out. The train will be making a return journey and will arrive at Victoria at around 8.10pm.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING: The churches in Eynsford and Farningham are both preparing for Christmas. St Peter and St Paul’s is holding a Christmas Market in Farningham Village Hall on Saturday 30 November from 11am – 3pm and St Martin’s is holding its Christmas Fayre on Saturday 7 December from 11am – 3pm in the Eynsford church.

There will be many stalls at Farningham and refreshments will be available. Donations for stalls may be left in the church porch or call Barry for collection on 07398 094536 or email: farninghamcfc@outlook.com Proceeds from the Christmas Market will go the church.

In Eynsford on 7 December there will be crafters’ stalls with children’s and adults’ gifts, jewellery, scarves, cards, book-marks etc. Plus other stalls will offer home-made jam, food hampers and chocolate-filled mugs. There will also be a prize draw, a soft toy tombola and a chocolate tombola plus the ever-popular as-new gift stall as well as the beautiful Lights of Love Christmas trees. Refreshments include mulled wine, cakes, tea/coffee & sandwiches. Entrance is £1 for adults (children free) and you get a free tea or coffee.

CHURCHYARD TIDY UP: St Martin’s is holding an autumn tidy up on Saturday (26 October) from 9am. Volunteers should meet from 9am at Olive Seal Hall, and are asked to bring their own tools. Times may vary because of weather conditions but plans are for hot drinks at 10:30am and then a ‘thank you’ lunch at 1pm. It is hoped many villagers will come along to help make the churchyard looking as good as possible as the next couple of weeks will see more visitors to the village church for All Souls on 3 November and Remembrance Sunday on 10 November.

EYNSFORD IN BLOOM: The next working party meetings are at 9.30am on Tuesday 29 October, and 9.30am on Saturday 2 November. New helpers are very much needed and always very welcome. The working parties meet in the main village car park opposite the church. Tools and coffee are provided. For more info call Pauline Penny on 01322 864751
