Join us to see this spectacle
For a few short weeks each year, the Sussex Weald is transformed into a sea of vibrant violet, with carpets of bluebells lining our tracks and ancient woodlands.
Your journey begins at one of our beautifully preserved heritage stations, where you’ll step back into the “Golden Age” of steam. Settle in and listen for the whistle as you embark on an 11-mile voyage through 1.5 hours of glorious Sussex scenery. Watch as sheep-dotted fields and lush vineyards roll by, all framed by the stunning seasonal blooms.
A great value family day out
We believe heritage should be accessible to everyone, which is why we've frozen our standard fares for 2026.
Families can take advantage of our popular “Kids for a Quid” offer—children aged 3–15 can travel for just £1 when accompanied by a full fare-paying adult.
- Scenic stops: Hop off at Horsted Keynes to explore its 1920s charm (as seen in Downton Abbey) or enjoy a family picnic at the tranquil Kingscote Station.
- Interactive fun: Visit the locomotive sheds and museum at Sheffield Park to see where our steam giants are lovingly restored.
- All-day adventure: Your ticket is an All-Day Rover, allowing you to ride as many trains as you like and fully immerse yourself in the nostalgia.
