Bluebell Tip Dig Live On BBC News

Live news report from BBC South East showing the first day of digging at the tip which is blocking the line a mile South of East Grinstead in Sussex. The digger was worked by newscaster Nicholas Owen. It is hoped to reunite the line with the network in 2010, subject of course to enough money being contributed. If you'd like to see the Flying Scotsman on Bluebell metals please send in a few quid! ;-) This is a wide screen recording which may look somewhat squashed if your computer video player is incorrectly set up.

There is no way to change the setup on a youtube video, you have to upload it as a widescreen video! Flash video isn't anamorphic, it's always going to be squashed. Just to let you know.

Thanks anyway.

Still need a couple of million more to dig out what remains. Next phase (the third) of the dig starting in the coming months, we're now taking it out by rail rather than by road.  You can contribute to the completion of the extension with a donation or a "Tenner for the Tip" - see
