The Bluebell Railway
Experience the Joy of Steaming through the Beautiful Sussex Countryside
Popular with film and tv production companies for its period charm for series, such as Downton Abbey, the Bluebell Railway runs steam trains on a 22 mile round trip through the beautiful Sussex countryside between Sheffield Park & East Grinstead.
As one of the first preserved heritage lines in the country, starting train services in August 1960, it has one of the finest collections of vintage steam locomotives and carriages in the country.
“We caught the train from Sheffield Park Station to East Grinstead and sat in the Observation Car. Wonderful experience all round. Just arriving at the Station and seeing all those old advertising signs and to see something so beautifully cared for and the staff so lovely. Like going back to a bygone era (Railway Children fans will adore). It was all blissful, the engines gorgeous. I’ve waited years to go on and was not disappointed – the sunshine helped of course but would thoroughly recommend to anyone.”

“Wow, our visit here brought out the big kid in me!
I’ve been on a lot of steam railways across the UK and this is by far my favourite. The entire place is lovingly restored and immaculately kept. The staff and volunteers are a joy to deal with. 10/10
Even my wife who normally rolls her eyes when I suggest a trip on a steam train had only good things to say about The Bluebell Railway.”

“I went for a trip with my sister as a birthday treat and it was lovely. I had a wowcher that I couldn’t print off at home and the people in the office and the ticket seller were most helpful. They also managed to fit us in for a ploughman’s lunch that was delicious. The people who work on the train are all volunteers and they do a great job, they know the history and have a very sunny disposition, they even got the whole coach to sing happy birthday to me, fantastic.”
