Ardingly on the cards
IN advance of a planning application and Transport and Works Act Order application being submitted, the Bluebell Railway held a public consultation for its proposed reinstatement of the former Horsted Keynes to Haywards Heath line, as far as Ardingly. At Ardingly, it is proposed to divert the route to the north around the existing Hanson aggregates depot, which is connected to the national rail network via a spur from Haywards Heath. The Bluebell Railway said this will enable onward journeys to Haywards Heath. The consultation closed on September 16.
