What does Artificial Intelligence mean for our identity? Our fascination with AI stems from the perceived uniqueness of human intelligence.

We believe it's what differentiates us. Fears of AI not only concern how it invades our digital lives, but also the implied threat of an intelligence that displaces us from our position at the centre of the world.

Neil D. Lawrence's visionary book shows why these fears may be misplaced.

Having initially survived closure during the 1960's famous Beeching Axe, the line between Tunbridge Wells Central and Eridge soldiered on for passengers until 6th July 1985.

Back then the line was home to the 'Thumpers' and our preserved example, Class 207 1317 operated on that last day paired with another (1311) and together they formed the last shuttle service from Eridge to Tunbridge Wells West.

40 years later we're turning back the clock and marking the occasion with 1317 in use, guided tours, historic displays and lots more! Further details will be made available in due course and tickets will go on sale in May 2025.
