Miniature railway at Upper Warlingham 27 September 1987 was the first day of electric operation to East Grinstead on the (then) Southern Region of British Railways.  To celebrate this auspicious occasion, various events were arranged at stations along the line, including the provision of this small railway at Upper Warlingham.  Perhaps it was not well publicised, but it seemed that few children turned up to see it.
