A train which has headed along the West Highland line, made famous by the Harry Potter films, is set to steam into Kent.

The special LM Stanier Black Five 45212, which returned to the mainline last year with trips with the Cathedrals Express, and the Jacobite service over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, featured in the JK Rowling films, will head to the county later this month.

It will make a special trip from Kent with the Cathedrals Express on Thursday, March 22.

Running with Steam Dreams, the Cathedrals Express will make stops at Rainham, Rochester, Gravesend, Dartford and Sidcup.

It is the first time The Cathedrals Express will have stopped at Dartford and Gravesend.

The engine started life in Bradford and headed the final steam-hauled revenue-earning service for British Railways in August 1968, before being withdrawn. It was updated and certified for mainline running last year.

Passengers can choose to visit Salisbury and Stonehenge, or remain onboard to visit Sherborne.

Tickets for the trips are available in four classes, and cost from £109 to Pullman Style Dining table for two at £269 per person.
