Bluebell Railway - the connection to East Grinstead is made - 8 March 2013

On 8 March 2013, 55 years after the line closed, and 39 years after the Bluebell made the first moves to extend Northwards from Horsted Keynes, the line to East Grinstead was formally joined using a white fishplate; the honour of tightening the four bolts falling to Barbara Watkins (aka "Mum") who has looked after Northern Extension Project (NEP) workers by providing refreshments, as their roster clerk, and as First Aider. This video records the private ceremony held, for the volunteer workers on the track, to celebrate the re-connection. The line is actually opening on 23rd March, when the first public steam trains will run over the new section of track. See http://www.blubell-railway.co.uk for more information. Just one small correction to note, where at 5 minutes into the video, Turners Hill Lane Bridge is described, this is of course actually Imberhorne Lane Bridge.
