On the evening of the 21st July, the Railway 200 train ‘Inspiration’ arrived at the Bluebell Railway.

The train will be open to visitors until the 29th July

The special four-coach train will be open to visitors at Horsted Keynes Station.

Visitors can take a trip through the Past, Present and Future exhibits, visit the Wonderlab on Wheels and get hands-on, all with a valid Bluebell Railway ticket.

The railway will also be running an intensive timetable to make it easier for people to visit Inspiration.

There’ll be plenty to do for visitors of all ages, from the exhibits to steam travel.

Bluebell Railway is also running other Railway 200 themed events; further information on those can be found here.

Further information on Inspiration and booking can be found here.

“Inspiration will form the centrepiece of our Railway 200 exhibition for the next seven days, and there lots of other activities going on too, including the chance to try out a full-specification train driving simulator and the opportunity to have a go at Eggsperiment! – a fun and educational activity loaned to us by the London Transport Museum. There will also be lots of steam trains in operation.”

“The Bluebell Railway is running a special intensive train service, with early and late trains from East Grinstead, to make it easy for visitors to see Inspiration.”
