The Bluebell goes from strength to strength one of Sussex best tourist attractions.
I hope one day will be extended to Haywards Heath linking several Villages and Eastgrinstead.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if reopening to HH has ever been properly costed? As I understand it they own the track bed and the short tunnel is in reasonable condition. I really hope this happens one day.
