HASTINGS DIESELS RAILTOUR -- BLUEBELL RAILWAY SATURDAY MAY 7th

THE HASTINGS BLUEBELL

Our first excursion of 2016 will take our train onto the Bluebell Railway.

Our train will start from Hastings, collecting passengers at the usual stops (plus Robertsbridge) to Tonbridge and our last pick-up point at Redhill. From there we proceed via the Croydon area to East Grinstead, where we will run on Bluebell Railway metals through to Sheffield Park: we expect to have around 4½ hours’ layover there giving time to explore the railway and ride on a steam train if you wish.


The excursion will then run back to Hurst Green before visiting Uckfield, thence returning to Hastings. Stops in each direction will be made at Eridge where it is hoped a connecting DEMU might be available on the Spa Valley Railway. We will also call at Roberstsbridge (home to the Rother Valley Railway) so that our train links together three preserved railway lines in one day.

Finalised timings have now been published.

Travellers wishing to bring bulky items (mobility scooters or buggies) are asked to seek guidance from us at the time of booking, as space is very limited. We regret that at present it is not our policy to convey bicycles, either full-size or folded.
