Bridge over the railway line Maps will have to be redrawn once the track and line are finished between Kingscote and East Grinstead stations. This line was one of the first to be 'axed' by Dr Beeching and subsequently was taken on by the Bluebell Line volunteers and enthusiasts. So soon you can change trains at East Grinstead to take the  steam train all the way to Sheffield Park.
