Bluebell Railway General Discussion

Had an absolutely fantastic time yesterday. Finally got to see Beachy Head and had a great time in the compartments of both the Mk1 and the Met carriage. Big shout out to whoever is in charge of the roster webpagw where you can click on the individual carriage and read about the vehicle you are riding on.

My kids loved the inspiration train! Also we enjoyed the signalling display on the LSWR carriage.

The thing we enjoyed the most was the shuttle rides in the observation car with Fenchurch. Possibly the best journey I've enjoyed on a standard gauge heritage line.

A big shout out to all the volunteers, who helped make the day as enjoyable as it was.

Some (not great) photos from yesterday:
