Bluebell Railway
Preservation Society
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.
