 thank you for joining me at the Bentley Minutes Railway today. So I've arrived here today in my Lada at the Bentley Minutes Railway. Found another 1990s car to park next to Volkswagen Golf, so it's quite nice to see the two 1990s cars together. What we're going to do though, we're going to go and have a ride. I've never been to this railway before, it's quite extensive. It's down in Sussex, it's near Uckfield, obviously I came by car. It's quite a long way from Uckfield Railway Station, so it's not really a place you can get too easy by public transport. But here we are, we're here, here's the, there's no locos on shed, but we'll go and see what's running. They are definitely running because I've already heard some the horns of locos and that, so it's here, look we're open. So let's go down this path, well there you go, see what I mean, go down this path and we'll find the railway. So let's walk along here. In this place it's quite an interesting estate. Various attractions have come and gone, these are the big most museum here, but unfortunately that's closed. I think the country house is over that way, we might see that from the train. So here's the shed or the steaming bays and the turntable, now what it says, tickets and trains, this little hut here. I think I've just missed the train, well it doesn't matter because we can get the next one. So train has just pulled out Bentley Central, so that's where you get the ticket from there. So if you just see over there, train just disappearing. So probably have to wait a while. There's another train, I believe that's on a driver training run, steam train. If we walk up to the end here, so yeah there's a quarry-hunter that there doing the driver training. So it looks like, yeah I think the railway first opened in about 1984, originally just had a small loop of tracks, so that's possibly, see that track there and that would have formed a loop around here. But now the railway is really quite extensive, it goes off down there and around the estate. So what we'll do, we'll go and buy a ticket, we'll wait for the train to arrive and then we'll go for a ride on the Bentley Miniature Railway. So my train has arrived, it's a Class 31. I've bought my ticket to go for a ride now. The funny thing is, this Class 31, I've actually had the standard gauge one, she is preserved at the Neen Valley Railway. They've been to the Neen Valley Railway, but when she visited to churn it very rarely for their diesel gala, I had a trip behind her now. So if you want to see that, have a look at Link on screen now, bit of her full-size cousin in action, but now I'm going to wait for her to pull forward and we'll go for a ride round this extensive Miniature Railway. Oh and there's over there is the steam that's on the driver training. So you can come here and learn how to drive a steam engine, so that's why the steam engine's out. Oh here it comes, she's coming in her train. So I thought I'd get off at Gleinborn Wood Junction. So this is the big junction station on the line. So there's three stations, it's Bentley Central where we've got on, there's Bentley East where we pass through and then there's this big junction station. So it's got two platforms here, but if you look that way, you've got quite a complex of track work. So you've got the line that way going back to Bentley Central, you've got the line that way to Bentley East. So when trains come from either Bentley Central or Bentley East, they come through the station this way and then they go off on a loop around there, back through, you might just be able to see the tunnel there through the trees, come out the tunnel and back and then they can either go straight on to Bentley East or they turn left back to Bentley Central. So what we'll do, we've got a bit of time until the train comes round again in probably about 10 minutes. So we'll have a little look around. So as we come out here, now there's something, it's a very different sort of attraction, it looks quite fun, but I'm not going to do it today. It's a tree climbing thing. So have a look if you see, that's why there are people up in the trees. It's a good place to get a view of the train from. So we go out here. So we go out here, we'll have a little look, but I'm all for what we'll get off here so we can do a bit of line siding and so I've ticked off another station. So yeah, there's people up there in the trees. And then through this gate. It's funny we've sort of come on this little train to the station in the middle of the woods where there's all these activities. So if you were to come with me as a family, you've got two very exciting things to do. You've got a train ride on the miniature railway and you've got this tree top adventure place. Everywhere you look, it's just sort of people disappearing off up into the trees, various zip wires, climbing walls, all sorts. It looks really quite exciting. If we come down here, it's also very nice to the bluebells as well. We'll go now, I want to go, but I don't want to get knocked over by anyone swinging. You can see people are swinging around. Get over there to the junction. I think what I'll do, I won't go to that bit, but yeah, but more people in the trees having fun. There's a huge net up here, but there was a footpath that went across the railway. That's what I'm heading for. Look at that. So if you go up, somehow you're up in the trees, going full of that and you get to that giant line net thing and you have to climb about in there. It all looks very exciting. You can just see there is someone in there, like they're caught in a net. So if we get to here, here is the Devil Crossings. We're at the other end now of the junction complex. So what I've got to do really is I'll probably hang about here and wait for a train. So we get to here. So that's the line down to Bentley East and then you can now see the other end of the junction just there. Just cross the line and hang around and we'll go and see some trains. We've had a great time here. The train's gone out again. The steam train on the drive experience is just sitting there waiting to go round again. So we're going to go out here. What we'll do, I'll just show you a couple of other things here. Oh, there's another quarry-hunsit loco on shed there. So what we'll do, we'll just go out here into the picnic area and we'll, I'll just show you a couple of things. It's when it was all a motor museum and I think that was up here. But you can still go over here to use the toilets. But I thought we'd go over here to show you the house. So there used to be all ducks and everything as well, which you could see, but the railway's still here and as we saw the Tree Top Adventure still here. So it really is worth coming to visit. It's a very, very nice peaceful estate in deep, deepest Sussex. So yeah, that's Bentley Central. Bentley East would be just over there behind the hedge. So it's one of those railways where the end isn't that far away from the beginning, but you go a long way to get there. And if we look over there, I'm not going to go over there. That is the stately home, which used to be able to visit. It is still lived in, still a sign over there, St Bentley Motor Museum. And then those buildings there will look like old stables at the toilet. So if you come here, you'll have to go there to use the toilets. But I'm going to go now. I've had a great afternoon or great morning and afternoon here. It's been really exciting, really enjoyed riding behind the Class 31 and seeing the steam engine action. So if you're out this way out of the way, do come and visit them. And like I say, it looks quite fun having a go on the Tree Top Adventure. You could go on both, have a climb in the trees and ride the train. So from the Bentley Motor Railway on the Bentley estate, thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment. Goodbye.
