Spa Valley - Easter

[CarltonA]

I'm thinking of heading down to the Spa Valley Rly next weekend. Charing Cross and Cannon Street will be closed it seems, so I may use London Bridge to Eridge. Anyone got any tips on the set up etc? There is not much connection time at Eridge for the first train, which is a concern.

At Eridge NR trains arrive on the former up platform therefore please use footbridge to former down platform where the Spa Valley Railway trains use. The first Spa Valley Railway is timetabled to depart Eridge at 1110 which connects with the down train from London Bridge arriving at 1103. Connection is normally held unless the NR train is heavily delayed.
Loco shed and main station is at Tunbridge Wells West. If staff are available then conducted tours of the loco shed can be arranged with staff on duty but please do not enter the working shed unaccompanied.
Any other information required...?

There are trains from London Bridge to Tunbridge Wells over Easter weekend - it's then a 10-15 minute walk to West Station.

Thanks for those replies, I will decide on the day if I go for Tunbrige Wells or Eridge. And don't worry Brian I won't be bunking the shed.
