A south east heritage railway has been nominated for an award at the Heritage Railway Association Annual Awards 2025.

The Kent and East Sussex railway, which operates between Tenterden and Bodiam has been nominated for its marketing and communications.

The nomination is due to the Mr Doodle event the railway held, where the artist has started to create the "world's first doodle train".  The work done by Mr Doodle was to celebrate the railway's 50th anniversary.

The awards, taking place in Gateshead on Saturday evening, are the largest ever that have taken place in the competition's history.  A total of 12 categories are taking place.

Heritage Railway Association chief executive, Steve Oates, said: "The number of entries demonstrates how important the awards have become for everyone in heritage rail.  Shortlisting has genuinely never been so hard, so we need to give all of the finalists a huge congratulations for making it through to the awards ceremony.  It's a special year with the Railway 200 celebrations – we're expecting the biggest turnout ever."

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
