Title: Bluebell Railway: Western extension project Post by: Red Squirrel on September 04, 2022, 14:45:36 Bluebell Railway is proposing to reinstate and re-open the railway along the former Horsted Keynes to Haywards Heath line, as far as Ardingly. At Ardingly, it is proposed to divert the route to the north around the existing Hanson Aggregates Depot, which is connected to the national rail network via a spur from Haywards Heath. This will enable onward journeys to Haywards Heath.
Full details are here (https://consultations.tetratecheurope.com/consultations/bluebell-railway/?fbclid=IwAR1qbkmfQTNwvsJ431BxX60YDL081lew0XosjFZ-fDmdjmNkCjdwUUmqN8A), along with an opportunity to comment. A public exhibition will be held at Hapstead Hall, High Street, Ardingly, RH17 6TB from: 2pm to 7pm on Friday 9th September 2022 and 2pm to 4pm on Saturday 10th September 2022 Title: Re: Bluebell Railway: Western extension project Post by: Electric train on September 05, 2022, 06:02:20 Truely amazing project, the trustees must be certain of future growth
Title: Re: Bluebell Railway: Western extension project Post by: grahame on September 05, 2022, 10:13:17 Truely amazing project, the trustees must be certain of future growth Horsted Keynes to Haywards Heath was electrified in 1935. The station was closed by British Railways under the Beeching Axe on 28 October 1963 with the cessation of trains from Seaford.
