EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time on the disused Bluebell Line. The image showcases a row of railway carriages stored at Kingscote Station, nestled between Lewes and East Grinstead, on the 12th of March, 1959. Three determined students named Martin Eastland, David Ballimore, and Alan Sturt have banded together to form the Lewes & East Grinstead Railway Preservation Society. Their ambitious goal is to breathe new life into this abandoned line and reopen it independently from British Rail. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia as it transports us back to an era when railways were at their prime. The disused carriages stand silently on the platform, evoking a sense of longing for days gone by. It serves as a reminder that even in times of neglect and abandonment, there are always individuals who see potential where others do not. With dreams firmly set on reviving this forgotten piece of history, these passionate students aim to restore the Bluebell Line's former glory. Their vision goes beyond mere preservation; they aspire to create an independent railway system that will once again connect communities along its route. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Fox Photos' lens, we can't help but feel inspired by these young pioneers who dare to challenge convention and embark on a journey towards revitalizing our past for future generations to enjoy.
