Bluebell Railway Branch Line Weekend, 20/02/10 (Part 1)

The Bluebell Railway held it's annual Branch Line Weekend over the weekend of February 20th/21st.

The event featured six locos in action including two visitors. From the home fleet, recently restored LB&SCR E4 class No. B473 (Birch Grove), SE&CR C class No. 592, BR Standard 4MT 2-6-4T No. 80151 and LB&SCR A1 'Terrier' class No. 672 'Fenchurch' were all in steam alongside two visitors - BR/LMS Fairburn 4P No. 42085 (from the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway) and BR Standard 2MT 2-6-0 No. 78019 (from the Great Central Railway).

As well as an intensive service, brakevan rides down the restored section of the Ardingly Branch took place, these being worked by 672.
