Bluebell Railway

The Bluebell Railway: Preserved steam trains running through the heart of Sussex.
Steam-hauled trains run between Sheffield Park, Horsted Keynes and East Grinstead.

The volunteer-run Bluebell Line was the UK's first preserved standard gauge passenger railway, re-opening part of the Lewes to East Grinstead line of the old London Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1960. Since then it has developed into one of the largest tourist attractions in Sussex, yet it still remains true to its objectives of the preservation for posterity of a country branch line, its steam locomotives, coaches and goods stock, signalling systems, stations and operating practices.
