Oh dear. Having lived in Tonbridge I've always thought that low bridge was an accident waiting to happen.
It sounds like quite a severe impact. Many bridge strikes tend to wedge the vehicle under the bridge rather than rip the top off. Good job nobody was hurt.
On the mainline NR usually gets a structural engineer out ASAP, since trains have to be cautioned over the bridge until the damage has been assessed and this really ruins the service.
However if the Spa Valley Railway owns this infrastructure it's possible that they may have to pay for a structural assessment themselves and then sue Morrisons to get their money back. Worse still if the bridge needs a repair.
I hope it doesn't spoil their operations.
