Charity Pump Trolley PDF Print E-mail

When Bexhill on Sea Community Responders were looking for an imaginative way to raise funds they asked Kent & East Sussex Railway if they could use "The Fastest Pump Trolley In The World" for a sponsored pump from Northiam to Bodiam.

Two teams pumped the 6 mile round trip to raise just under £1000 towards the purchase of vital monitoring equipment.

K&ESR's Pump Trolley was involved in the successful attempt to break the world record for the fastest pump trolley push on the BBC TV show Roy Castle's Record Breakers.

The teams from Bexhill on Sea Community Responders did not reach the speeds replicated by Roy Castle's volunteers but they did have some great fun.
