The Hampton & Kempton Waterworks Railway is a Narrow Gauge (2ft) Railway, the longest in the London Area.
The Steam-hauled trains run every Sunday from March to mid November fro 10.30 until 16.00 hrs. Trains also run on Saturdays when the adjacent Kempton Park Great Engines are open. These Triple Expansion Steam Engines are magnificent to experience and used to power the pumps which supplied water to most of north London; the original purpose of the Railway was to supply up to 200 tons per day of coal to fire the high-pressure boilers which supplied steam to the Great Engines.
The Metropolitan Water Board Railway Society has created the Hanworth Loop as the first stage in recreating the line between Hampton and Kempton.
The standard fares are £2.50 for adults and £1 for children under 15, and Infants under 5 are free.
The trains are generally hauled by "Darent", a 1903 0_4_0 Steam Locomotive, built by Andrew Barclay, in Kilmarnock, Scotland, for the Provan Gasworks in Glasgow. The carriages have been (re)built by members of the Metropolitan Water Board Railway Society.
There is no need to book for a standard Sunday trains - trains depart several times per hour - but booking is required for our 'Ghost Night' and 'Santa' Specials.
