The Bluebell Railway

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.

Our 100% steam-hauled passenger trains run for pre-booked Santa Specials in December.
We also have a two-train service running every day from Boxing Day to New Year's Day.
See the Timetable for full details.
In addition, our steam hauled Golden Arrow Pullman Dining Train runs most Saturday evenings and Sunday Lunchtimes, as well as some other days.
