context_page_description: The Bluebell Railway is an 11 mi heritage line almost entirely in West Sussex in England, except for Sheffield Park which is in East Sussex. It is managed by the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society. It uses steam trains which operate between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, with intermediate stations at Horsted Keynes and Kingscote.
  It is the first preserved standard gauge steam-operated passenger railway in the world to operate a public service. The society ran its first train on 7 August 1960, less than three years after the line from East Grinstead to Lewes had been closed by British Railways.
  On 23 March 2013, the Bluebell Railway started to run through to its new East Grinstead terminus station. At East Grinstead there is a connection to the national rail network, the first connection of the Bluebell Railway to the national network in 50 years, since the Horsted Keynes – Haywards Heath line closed in 1963.
  Today the railway is managed and run largely by volunteers.
context_section_description: The various stations have been restored to show different periods of the railway's life:
  Sheffield Park has been restored to a Victorian ambience, as it would have appeared during the time of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (up to 1922)
  Horsted Keynes emulates the Southern Railway from 1922 to 1948
  West Hoathly (if built) will emulate the British Railways of the late 1940s
  Kingscote echoes the British Railways of the 1950s
  East Grinstead is an amalgam of British Railways of the 1950s and 1960s
