Bluebell Railway, Heritage railway in East Sussex, United Kingdom.
The Bluebell Railway operates on an 11-mile track between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, featuring vintage steam locomotives through the Sussex countryside.
The railway commenced operations on August 7, 1960, following the closure of the East Grinstead to Lewes line by British Railways, marking a new era.
The collection includes over 30 steam locomotives and 150 pre-1939 carriages, representing significant British railway engineering and transportation heritage.
Visitors can access four stations along the route: Sheffield Park, Horsted Keynes, Kingscote, and East Grinstead, with parking facilities at each location.
The railway houses the second-largest collection of steam locomotives in the United Kingdom, surpassed only by the National Railway Museum.
