Welcome to Polegate Oaks
A Little About Our RailwayWelcome to the PADMEC Miniature Railway at Polegate Oaks.
We’re a small group of volunteers who simply love running trains and sharing them with the community. Our railway runs on donations rather than fixed ticket prices, because we believe everyone should be able to enjoy a ride.
Some railways have had to increase their ride prices in recent years. We’ve chosen a slightly different track. If you enjoy the ride and can spare a donation, it helps keep the trains running for the next family waiting at the platform.
We may not be the biggest club around, but what we lack in grand facilities we make up for in friendly faces, enthusiasm, and a warm welcome for everyone.
Running a miniature railway still comes with real costs though. Track, locomotives, maintenance and safety equipment all need looking after. That’s why we fundraise throughout the year to keep this little railway steaming along.
If you like what we do, why not become part of it? Whether it’s becoming a member, volunteering your time, or simply supporting us with a donation, every bit helps keep this community attraction alive for future generations.
Thanks for helping keep the wheels turning.

Below is a Video shot by Mark Newman, in 2018 where you can see our railway in full swing. It was a wonderful day to shoot an amazing video and for him to piece together the footage, that you can watch below.
