The Spa Valley Railway is a standard gauge heritage railway that runs between Tunbridge Wells, High Rocks, Groombridge, and Birchden crossing the Kent and East Sussex border, a distance of 4 miles, along the former Three Bridges to Tunbridge Wells Central Line / Cuckoo Line. Its headquarters is at Tunbridge Wells West railway station. It is intended to extend the line to Eridge railway station to link with the Oxted Line.
The railway holds a number of special event days, including a Day out with Thomas (the tank engine) on 4 weekends of the year, Santa Specials, and both steam and heritage diesel weekends.

The future
In the near term the Spa Valley railway is hoping to extend services to Eridge mainline station, where there is a disused bay platform.
In the longer term, nearby closed lines to East Grinstead (Three Bridges to Tunbridge Wells Central Line) and Eastbourne (Cuckoo Line) offer scope for expansion.
