Why make time for it
The Prince Consort engine is scheduled to steam, with the RANG railway adding to the industrial setting. Both 17 and 18 October run from 10:00–16:00. The advertised adult ticket is £20.37, with a family option at £27.26 and free entry for under-fives and carers under the organiser’s conditions. A free vintage bus is advertised from Abbey Wood. Book the correct day and check the transport instructions rather than treating Crossness as a museum open for casual daily visits.
