Our Brighton Atlantic and Car 54 win at the HRA Awards
Fantastic news for the Bluebell tonight at the Heritage Railway Association’s annual awards, and congratulations to the teams who fundraised for and built the new Brighton Atlantic ‘Beachy Head’ and reconstructed Pullman Car 54 (which includes modifications for wheelchair access for the first time on any British Pullman), and to all the donors and supporters who made these achievements possible.
The Atlantic won the Steam Railway Readers Award (right) and the Steam Locomotive Award (below left).
Car 54 took the Morgan Award for Rolling Stock Preservation (below right).
