Overview

The railway is managed and run largely by volunteers. It has the largest collection of steam locomotives after the National Railway Museum (NRM), and a collection of carriages and wagons unrivalled in the south of England. In addition to the 30 locomotives resident on the line, one is on loan from the NRM (another has recently returned there), and a project is well under way to recreate a long-lost type of locomotive (a London, Brighton and South Coast Railway H2 Class Atlantic) from a few surviving parts.

The Bluebell Railway was the first preserved standard gauge steam-operated passenger railway in the world: it opened on 7 August 1960, shortly after the line from East Grinstead to Lewes had been closed by British Railways. It also preserved a number of steam locomotives even before the cessation of steam service on British mainline railways in 1968. As railways developed and expanded one of the key issues to be decided was that of the rail gauge (the distance between the two rails of the track) which should be used. ... , East Grinstead (archaically spelt Grimstead[1]) is a town and civil parish in the northeastern corner of Mid Sussex, West Sussex in England near the East Sussex, Surrey, and Kent borders. ...

History

Interior of the signal box at Sheffield Park, showing route layout board and operating levers

In 1877 an Act was passed to authorise the construction of the Lewes and East Grinstead Railway (L&EGR). The line was sponsored by a number of local landowners, including the Earl of Sheffield. A year later an Act of 1878 enabled the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Company (LB&SCR) to acquire and operate the new line. The station from the bridge. ... The LB&SCRs coat of arms, displayed above the entrance to Gipsy Hill railway station. ...

The line had six stations, but only the station at Barcombe was within walking distance of an existing village: the remaining five were in thinly populated areas. Chailey parish had two stations, one at Sheffield Park and the other at Newick and Chailey. It was traditional at that time for a rural railway line that was supported by a private company or notable individuals to have stations sited in close proximity to the residences of its sponsors. Thus Sheffield Park station was built for the Earl of Sheffield, and Newick and Chailey for Newick Park and Reedens, the residences of two other sponsors. The other stations on the line were at Kingscote, West Hoathly and Horsted Keynes. A branch line ran from a junction at Horsted Keynes to Ardingly and Haywards Heath on the LB&SCR main line.

Significantly, the 1877 and 1878 Acts included a clause stating that:

Four passenger trains each way daily to run on this line, with through connections at East Grinstead to London, and to stop at Sheffield Bridges, Newick, and West Hoathly.

This imposed a legal requirement on the railway owner to provide a service, and it emerged much later that the only way to remove this obligation was to pass another Act of Parliament to rescind it.

After the passage of the 1878 Act, the new line opened in 1882, with the usual pomp and ceremony and a great deal of celebration. The whole line from East Grinstead was built to take double track, which was actually laid between East Grinstead and Horsted Keynes; however, south of the junction at Horsted Keynes the line was only single track with passing loops at the stations. Like a number of rural branch lines of that era, as well as conveying passengers a substantial quantity of local produce was transported: milk, farm products and coal, and timber to and from Albert Turner & Son, a local sawmill. Curiously, the only time Sheffield Park station received a substantial number of passengers was when Lord Sheffield entertained the Australian Cricket Team, with the inevitable match between them and Lord Sheffield's own team.

As early as 1954, and certainly long before Dr Richard Beeching (whose programme of railway closures and service cuts became known as the Beeching Axe) became Chairman of the British Railways Board, the Branchline Committee of British Railways had submitted a proposal to close the section of line from East Grinstead to Culver Junction near Lewes. This was challenged by local residents, but eventually the closure was sanctioned in February 1955, and a closure date fixed for 28 May 1955. The ensuing battle fought between British Railways and the users of the "Bluebell Line" (as it was known) became infamous, as a result of four years of acrimonious argument which the transport users conducted in opposition to the Transport Authorities. Year 1954 (MCMLIV) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1954 Gregorian calendar). ...

Shortly after the closure a local resident of Chailey, Miss Margery Bessemer, discovered in the wording of the 1877 and 1878 Acts the clause (mentioned above) relating to the "Statutory Line", and demanded that British Railways honour this legal obligation and reinstate the services required by the Acts. On 7 August 1956 British Railways was forced to re-open the line, and so began the "Sulky Service", with the trains only stopping at the stations mentioned in the Acts. Meanwhile, in 1957 British Railways took the case to the House of Commons, resulting in a Public Inquiry. British Railways were sternly censured, but later the Transport Commission was able to persuade Parliament to repeal the special section of the Act. By this means the line was again, and this time finally, closed on 17 March 1958. is the 219th day of the year (220th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Spring 1959 saw the formation of the Lewes & East Grinstead Railway Preservation Society, the forerunner of today’s Bluebell Railway Preservation Society. Its initial aim was to re-open the whole line from East Grinstead to Culver Junction, and to run it as a commercial service. This was envisaged as using a diesel railcar, a two-car DMU, as soon as funds allowed. These plans sadly came to nothing, for two reasons: firstly, the Society failed to purchase the whole line; and secondly, most local residents were not that interested. So in the interim, the re-opening of the section of line from Sheffield Park to Bluebell Halt just south of Horsted Keynes (which was at first leased and eventually purchased from British Railways) as both a steam railway and museum was planned and approved.

Present and future

The Bluebell Railway Preservation Society completed an initial extension from Horsted Keynes to Kingscote in 1994, which included relaying track through Sharpthorne Tunnel (731 yards (668 m), the longest on a UK heritage railway), and is now working to reinstate the remaining two miles of line from Kingscote to East Grinstead. Sharpthorne Tunnel on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex is the longest tunnel (731 yards) on a UK Heritage railway. ...

Work has now started on the final northwards push towards East Grinstead, where the line will once again join to the National Rail network. A major problem to be overcome is the former landfill site that fills a 50 metre deep cutting for part of the route. Some 300,000 cubic metres of rubbish will be removed by convoys of road freighters. Some of the excavated clay will being taken south by rail to help fill the site of a removed bridge and embankment on the old Ardingly spur. In January 2008, agreement was given to start the clearance of foliage on the section of the tip between Imberhorne Lane and Hill Place bridges. This work has now been completed.

Ardingly Inn Ardingly is a village in West Sussex, England, approximately halfway between London and the coastal city of Brighton. ...

It is hoped that in the future the Ardingly spur will also reconnect with National Rail at Ardingly, and thus gain access to the London to Brighton main line at Copyhold Junction. This will restore a bypass of the London – Brighton line which proved very useful in the past (during the Second World War the signal box at Horsted Keynes was manned both night and day, to provide an alternative route for troop trains). There is also occasional speculation about long-term plans to extend south towards Lewes; but the removal of the road bridge just south of Sheffield Park station, the in-filling of the cutting and route under the A272 road, and the housing development that was built on the site of Newick & Chailey station makes this whole idea a very distant prospect. Nevertheless, the remaining undeveloped section of the line from Lewes to Sheffield Park has been safeguarded from development prejudicial to its use as a bridleway and footpath, leaving open the possibility that the whole line may one day be open to services.^[1] The A272 is a road in South-East England. ...

The stations have been restored to show different periods of the railway's life. Sheffield Park has been restored to a generally Victorian ambience, as it would have appeared during the time of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (up to 1922); Horsted Keynes tries to emulate the style of the Southern Railway (1922 – 1948); and Kingscote echoes the early British Railways period of the 1950s.

Between Horsted Keynes and Kingscote the line passes through the site of West Hoathly station, at one end of Sharpthorne Tunnel. The West Hoathly station buildings and footbridge were demolished piecemeal between 1964 and '67, and the site is now in the middle of a modern housing development, so remains closed in deference to the wishes of the local residents. The remains of the platforms and goods dock are still visible at the lineside. West Hoathly is a small, historic and picturesque village in the county of West Sussex, UK. West Hoathly Church of England School is the main primary school in the village. ...

Undergoing repair or restoration

• SECR 0-6-0T Wainwright P Class No 178. Undergoing restoration. The frames are nearly finished but work is focussed on the boiler which is having work done on the firebox and boiler with the stays and front tubeplate and tubes receiving attention. Expected to be steaming in 2009.
• SR 4-6-0 S15 No 847. Undergoing overhaul by the Maunsell Locomotive Society, the wheels are back from re-tyring and attention to the axleboxes. They have been painted and should be fitted once the springs are fitted. The frames have been cleaned and painted, the cab and motion are receiving attention and the boiler is having its stays replaced; this work is planned to be completed in 2008.
• SR 4-6-2 Rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific No 34059 "Sir Archibald Sinclair". Restoration from Barry Scrapyard condition is nearing completion. Everything but the boiler is complete; the smokebox, cab and ashpan have been fitted on the newly-completed frames, motion and wheels, the boiler is being retubed and a steam test will be done once its been re-tubed. The locomotive is expected to return to steam late in 2008.
• Fletcher Jennings 0-4-0T No 3 "Baxter". The frames have been re-wheeled and now require the motion and final painting. Boiler has had all welding done and new tubes fitted. Somkebox had been fully repaired and is now being painted. Once complete the engine will be fitted with vacuum brakes for the first time. This work is being undertaken at a slower rate to other restorations although a return to steam in late 2008 or 2009 is likely.
• LBSCR 4-4-2 Atlantic No 32424 "Beachy Head". Work on the frames is currently under way with new holes being drilled into the tender frames. Re-tubing of the boiler is also in progress.
• BR 2-6-0 (will be 2-6-2T) Standard Class 2 No 78059 (will be 84030). Construction of the engine is under way, with work currently focused on the frames.
• BR 4-6-0 5MT No 73082 "Camelot". Withdrawn in 2005 for a ten-yearly overhaul, the Camelot Locomotive Society are currently dismantling things like the brake gear and have already finished the tender. A boiler lift took place in late 2007, and it is hoped that the engine can be back in service again in 2010/11. This will occupy space in the works when 34059 is completed and should come into traffic in time to replace 21C123.

• LBSCR 0-6-2T E4 No 32473 "Birch Grove". Withdrawn from service in May 2008, overhaul planned in the near future due to the good condition and reliability of the locomotive.
• BR 4-6-0 class 4 No 75027. On display at Sheffield Park awaiting overhaul. Withdrawn February 2007 due to recurring failures. Depending on condition may be looked at when work on 73082 is complete.
• LSWR 0-4-0T Adams Dock Tank No 96 "Normandy". Shunted stock regularly until July 2006 when its boiler ticket expired. Funds now being raised and overhaul is expected to start in the not so distant future.
• NLR Class 75 0-6-0T No 58850. Awaiting overhaul. Was on display at Barrow Hill Roundhouse until 2006 when it was moved back to the Bluebell, initially as a replacement for 96, although it also has yet to receive any major attention.
• BR 2-10-0 9F No 92240. Withdrawn in December 2002 for a ten-yearly overhaul with work required on the firebox and front tubeplate. Presently on display at Sheffield Park Station with no immediate plans for a return to steam until at least after 73082 is completed.
• SECR 0-4-4T Class H No 263. Stored on static display awaiting overhaul, last worked in 1998. No work has been undertaken and it is not likely to return to steam in the near future.
• LSWR 4-4-2T Adams Radial Tank No 488. Static display in Sheffield Park display shed with a whole new boiler barrel needed and cracks in at least one wheel set. As such, despite the many pleas to work on her, no work has been done on this fine looking machine but the completion of an LSWR Coach in 2009 could push the engine further up the overhaul queue.

"Adams Radial" number 488 at Horsted Keynes.

• SR 4-4-0 Schools-Class No 928 "Stowe". Owned by the Maunsell Locomotive Society, its tender has recently had a new body fitted making it fit for display. Overhaul planned to start once No 847 is completed by the Maunsell Locomotive Society.
• SR 2-6-0 U class Maunsell No 1618. Last worked in 1994 and is on static display awaiting overhaul. With classmate 1638 in traffic, 1618 has slipped down the overhaul queue.
• SR 0-6-0 Maunsell Q Class No 541. The best of all the Maunsell Locomotive Society engines. Sadly it has not worked for a while, but an overhaul is planned, hopefully after work on 928 has progressed.
• SR 0-6-0T USA Dock Tank No 30064. Recently been painted in WD grey, on static display awaiting overhaul, with no imminent plans to return her to steam.
• BR 2-6-4T Standard Class 4 No 80064. Stored on static display in the engine shed awaiting a major overhaul. With 80151 in better condition, she faces a long wait to return to steam.

75027 in traffic, 2006.

• BR 2-6-4T Standard Class 4 No 80100. Awaiting major restoration from Barry Scrapyard condition and work is unlikely to proceed for some time yet.
• SECR 0-6-0T Wainwright P Class No 323. Overhaul is currently suspended while work concentrates on the bigger locomotives. It is planned to paint the locomotive "Bluebell Blue" once finished. With the overhaul of 1178 now started, this has damaged 323s chances of a return to steam in the near future.
• SECR 0-6-0T Wainwright P Class No 27. Awaiting major Overhaul, might be taken on by the group currently working on Baxter. Last worked in the late 1970's
• Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST No 641 "Sharpthorn". On static display at Horsted Keynes Station. This is deemed to be a very fragile machine so is unlikely to be returned to steam

Carriages

Metropolitan Carriages

The Metropolitan coaches at Sheffield Park.

Four carriages built in 1898 and 1900 for use out of Baker Street Station in London. Initially steam hauled, later used in electric trains, reverting to steam haulage on the Chesham branch in 1940. Purchased by the Bluebell Railway in 1961, and used until withdrawn in the late 1960s in need of major attention. Now returned to service and are unique as a close-coupled set of vintage carriages. The restoration team were the recipient of the Heritage Railways Association's award as overall winner of their 2006/7 carriage competition.
