A trip down to the Bluebell Railway for the first day of the Giants of Steam weekend.
My journey from East Grinstead was on Southern 847 to Horstead Keynes which gives an excellent opportunity to view trains on services in each direction.

The first train was LNER B12 8572, visiting for the gala from North Norfolk Railway, followed by Standard 5MT 73082 ‘Camelot’ travelling in the opposite direction.

Next visitor was the other visiting loco – LMS 8F 48624 from the Great Central Railway.


Then on to Sheffield Park for a visit to the engine shed. SECR P-class 263 ‘Bluebell Railway’ was in steam in the yard.

My return journey to East Grinstead was on a train hauled by the B12.

An excellent day and some good photo opportunities.

What a great day out – you were certainly spoilt with that number of different locomotives to see!
