Thank you for taking the time to provide your comments on the Bluebell Railway’s proposed western extension. We are keen to hear your thoughts and views on the current proposals before they are finalised and a planning application is submitted for the proposed development.
All comments received will be considered and will assist the project team in finalising the proposals. All comments will be treated confidentially, and no individuals will be identified when comments or feedback are reported.

Question Title

* 1. Please provide us with your contact information (optional)

Question Title

* 2. The proposed development reinstates and re-opens the railway along the former Horsted Keynes to Haywards Heath line, to join with Network Rail’s track west of Hanson’s aggregates depot near Ardingly. Do you support the principle of reinstating and re-opening the railway?

Question Title

* 3. Do you agree with the proposals as shown on the current drawings?

Question Title

* 4. Would you suggest that anything is changed? Please state how (optional)

Question Title

* 5. To minimise the land take at Hanson's depot, the proposal requires a new bridge under College Road, Ardingly and aligning the track to the north side of Hanson’s aggregate depot, before joining the Network Rail track that will enable an onward journey to Haywards Heath. Do you agree with the alignment under College Road and past Hanson's depot?

Question Title

* 6. Would you take a journey along the restored railway line if it was re-opened?

Question Title

* 7. It is possible initially for trains to terminate on the east side of College Road Ardingly, at a temporary platform, to permit passengers to alight for a short time before re-joining the train. There will not be any access to College Road or elsewhere. Would you support the temporary provision of a platform here?

Question Title

* 8. Do you have any other comments or thoughts you would like to share on the proposals? (optional)
