A magnificent vintage steam train experience in Sussex

Running 11 miles along the border between East and West Sussex, the Bluebell Railway heritage line remains one of the finest collections of vintage steam locomotives; many of them preserved since the 1960s. Operated by the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society, the trains run between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, with intermediary stations at Horsted Keynes & Kingscote. You will have certainly seen a magnificent Bluebell Railway steam train beforehand as they have made regular appearances on several popular television shows and films thanks to their authentic vintage style. Since its inception the Bluebell Railway has developed into one of Sussex’s leading attractions, however it remains true to preserving the line, its steam locomotives, coaches and goods stock, signalling systems, stations and operating practices.
