Geocache Description:

The volunteer run Bluebell Line was the UK's first preserved standard gauge passenger railway, re-opening part of the Lewes to East Grinstead line which was owned by the old London Brighton & South Coast Railway.

It has now developed into one of the largest tourist attractions in Sussex, yet it still remains true to its objectives, the preservation for posterity of a country branch line.

You will find trains running daily between March and October.
