Train operator to run Halloween themed services
A train operating company says it will be running Halloween-themed services to celebrate the spooky day.
Southeastern will run a special “ghost train” between London Charing Cross and Pluckley in Kent, which is claimed to be the most haunted place in the UK.
The service, called Trainsylvania will leave London Charing Cross at 10:34 GMT on Thursday and call at Waterloo East, London Bridge, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Paddock Wood, Marden, Staplehurst and Headcorn and Pluckley.
With the lure of a luxury beachfront apartment for the weekend, I head to Folkestone on the coast of Kent, which is only an hour from London by train, but I drive there from Brighton.
I arrive at the award-winning Shoreline development and the garage doors’ camera recognises my car’s license plate and swing open. I park and then enter the apartment from the garage to find a very bright and welcoming home.
