The Bluebell Railway

The Bluebell Railway -
More Than Just a Train Ride!

Are you looking for a day out with a difference?

Imagine travelling through 11 miles of glorious Sussex scenery behind a steam engine. The Bluebell Railway offers that and so much more for the whole family.

Bluebell Railway was one of the first preserved heritage lines in the country, resulting in one of the finest collections of
vintage steam locomotives and carriages – many of which were preserved straight out of service from British Railways.

The Bluebell Railway commenced train services in August 1960 and now runs steam trains between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, stopping at Horsted Keynes and Kingscote.

Purchase an All Day Rover ticket and hop on and off as much as you like throughout the day!

During your visit, learn about the history and science of the Industrial Age, experience the thrill of getting up close to a working steam locomotive and luxuriate in the comfort and style of a bygone era. Families can enjoy getting hands-on in our interactive exhibitions and with plenty to see across our four stations, The Bluebell Railway is a very special and unique attraction that the whole family can enjoy all year round!
