RH&DR - Key Persons


Sir William McAlpine

After a near-death experience a new consortium, headed by Sir William McAlpine, saved the day in 1973 and much investment has taken place over the intervening years to ensure the railway maintains its title as Kent's Mainline in Miniature and continues to uphold a high standard of customer service. 2017 saw Sir William look proudly upon some of his many achievements when, for the RH&DR 90th anniversary, Typhoon was paired with Flying Scotsman at the Bluebell Railway.
