Do you remember your first time on the Scenic Railway? #FridayFeeling
Remember both my first time on it as a passenger back in 1976 and also my first time being taught how to be a brakeman by Dick Faulkner back in 1988 :)
My fave !! Made my 12 year old ride it with me .. back seat yesterday!! Still got it ... ❤️
Oh yeeaaah😊
Think I was about 7 so it was 1968 and my Dad held on to me very tightly all the way round. Its still the best ride there
i remember taking my mum and friend,we were 12 and she decided that when we got up to the highest point she wanted to get off and tried to stand up! 😨😱
1985
Loved the scenic railway ... Reckon it was in the early 70's with my wonderful grandparents . We used to stay at my nans sisters bungalow in cliftonville and go to Palm Bay beach 😊😊😊
Not the scenic railway but I would ALWAYS have to sit behind the brake man, somehow I felt safer 😂 I remember my first time on the looping star though 🤩
yep was probably 1982 ish when i was 6 .... coming back tomorrow to ride it on my 43rd birthday cannot wait
Yes I can, back in the ‘70’s with my mum
1999. And I bloody loved it

I was about 7 or 8. We went on a sunday and it had just opened for the day so there were no queues we was able to go on the sceniv railway a few times before it got busy
Excellent
Yes was in 1989 .. the day I met my furtive husband and father to my five kids

Temperatures in London are set to continue to rise this week, bringing the hottest days of the year so far - and just in time for the weekend. Brits can look forward to basks in...

How old is this?! "GB Pizza recently opened"? "Forts café" which has been closed for months? Weird.
Everyone needs to visit Margate, not only is it my home town. It has got back to what it used to be. Dreamland has opened up, the beach is beautiful. Visit the old town square of Margate with all the vintage shops. The shell grotto has reopened which is beautiful. Everyone needs to see Margate and just see that it's beautiful it is
How old is this article? GB Pizza hasn’t ‘recently’ opened??
Goodness knows why. Ramsgate is far nicer.
Shame they couldn't get the station right Can you still get a train from Victoria?
Lazy journalism in a hurry

Probably written last summer - it talks about temperatures of 35 degrees, and says (of Whitstable) that "the annual [oyster] festival started this week".

Some really silly comments - "Broadstairs is Whistable on a grander scale" - like you get so many oysters in Broadstairs ? :-D
We love Margate and Dreamland..... we don’t live in London, we live in Canterbury and could choose any of the local beaches but Margate is one of our favourite costal towns, so much character and charm. Our children have the best fun. Thanks to Dreamland and the Turner Contemporary for all your hard work, Margate wouldn’t be the same without you. We’ll always be routing for you ! Xxx
Come on Shellness isle of sheppey it’s got a Nudist beach 🏖 for God sake
We love margate and all the surrounding areas. Moved from London with two children to live here. Best thing ever.
