  •   View Keith Duke’s photos from 1 January.
  •   With the track relaying in the tunnel having started on Monday this week, we are next open to the public over the February half term, when we also have ice skating with Bluebell on Ice, from 15 to 23 February.
  •   Our contribution to Railway 200 Global Whistle-Up made a news feature on RTBF (Belgian TV) about the start of the Railway 2000 celebrations – it featured the Bluebell in some detail!
  •   Two of Peter Edwards’ photos from the wet 1 January are below. His first photo shows Stroudley “Terrier” 72 ‘Fenchurch’ which was running shuttles with the LNWR Observation Car from Horsted Keynes up to the portal of the tunnel. The second shows SECR O1 No. 65 with its goods train, which ran between passenger services between Sheffield Park and Horsted Keynes. In spite of the weather, visitor numbers were good.
