Clearance and Fence Realignment
Spring/Summer 2024
Just north of Kingscote station lies a section of the railway unofficially known as “The Narrows”. This is the only part of the railway that Bluebell only owns half of the original track bed. It sits on top of a high embankment and is divided into two sections by the bridge over Turners Hill Road. The two sections are owned by two different land owners who decided not to sell their part of the embankment to us before we opened the railway up to East Grinstead. The one nearest to the station between Vowels Lane and Turners Hill Road has decided to sell us their part of the top of the embankment but not the embankment side. It is not a large slice of land, a little less than 100 meters long and approximately 5 meters wide.
As soon as the purchase was complete, the dividing fence was removed and a new one installed on the new boundary.
