Bluebell Railway

Experience the pioneer of rail preservation: the world-famous Bluebell Railway. Stretching across 11 miles of the Sussex countryside, it was the first standard-gauge heritage line to reopen in England (1960). This 'living museum' of the Southern Railway features four impeccably restored stations—each representing a distinct era from the 1880s to the 1950s—offering a cinematic journey that has frequently served as a backdrop for major film and television productions like 'Downton Abbey'.
