Kingscote Station - Part 1 of 2
Kingscote railway station is a railway station on the Bluebell Railway. It was the northern terminus, prior to completion of the extension to East Grinstead. There is a small goods yard in which it is planned (under Bluebell's Long Term Plan) to recreate an authentic working 1950s country goods yard complete with Yard Crane, Cattle Pens and Coal Staithes.
The station has two operable platforms. During the winter most trains use Platform 1 whilst during the summer season Platform 2 is used more because it has access to the picnic area and refreshment stand.
The station was closed by British Railways on 29 May 1955 however when the line reopened in August 1956 when its closure was ruled illegal this station did not (along with Barcombe) . It was not mentioned in the original Act of Parliament so BR had no obligation to stop trains there. The line was again closed to regular passenger services in March 1958 but remained open for occasional use until 1963. The track was lifted about 1965 and the station site was sold privately. It was acquired by the Bluebell Railway in the 1980s when restoration work started. The Bluebell completed the extension from West Hoathly in 1994 when the station was reopened after restoration. The section of the line from Kingscote to East Grinstead was re-opened in 2013.
The Bluebell Railway is a heritage line running for 11 mi (17.7 km) along the border between East and West Sussex, England. It uses steam trains which operate between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead, with intermediate stations at Horsted Keynes & Kingscote.
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 commenced running through to its new East Grinstead terminus station. At East Grinstead there is a connection to the UK National 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. Having preserved a number of steam locomotives even before the cessation of steam service on British mainline railways in 1968, today it has the largest collection (over 30) of steam locomotives in the UK after the National Railway Museum. The Society also has a collection of almost 150 carriages and wagons, most of them pre-1939.

Bluebell Railway Goods Train Day - Saturday 11th June 2016
#BluebellRailway #GoodsTrain #Steam
Every couple of months or so the Bluebell Railway runs a demonstration goods train alongside its normal weekend 75 minute passenger service. This runs Horsted Keynes-Kingscote-Sheffield Park-Horsted Keynes twice which has the additional benefit of breaking up the forward facing runs allowing extra shots. My video features the afternoon run and the three service trains than ran alongside side it. The goods was in the hands of C no.592 with the passenger trains in the hands of Std 5 no.73082 'Camelot' and H no.263. Two cameras were used to catch the action at some locations.

Kingscote Station On The Bluebell Railway by Drone
Welcome To Kingscote Train Station
The station was opened in 1882 and was designed to visually appeal to Victorian London-commuters, who had travelled into the Sussex countryside looking for either a commuter property, or country cottage for the weekend.
The station closed on 29 May 1955. As it was not one of the named locations in the Bluebell's original Act of Parliament, it - along with Barcombe - remained closed when the line reopened from August 1956 to the second line closure in March 1958.
The majority of the former station site, minus a commercial yard on the site of the pre-1910 sidings which is currently used by a builder's merchants, was acquired by the Bluebell Railway Extension Company Ltd (the legal vehicle used by the charitable Bluebell Railway Society to buy the former land on which the railway had run, and undertake reconstruction of the line northwards), in the 1980s.
Since reopening in 1994 the station has been adopted by the Friends of Kingscote group of volunteers, who provide general maintenance and undertake renovation projects.
I have more Aerial Footage and pictures of Kingscote Train Station so if you would like to see more please let me know.

Channel 4's 1994 Witness Special: Why East Grinstead?
My parent's had a copy of this on VHS, thought it should be uploaded to the youtubes for future enjoyment. This special explores the different religions and faiths around East Grinstead. There's a lot of tracking shots! I've left in the adverts in too as an added bonus (R.I.P. People's Phone). The BFI says of this special The quiet West Sussex town of East Grinstead is home to a number of cult and religious groups - the Scientologists and the Rosicrucians among others. WITNESS talks to the leaders of the Ashworth Dowsers, the Pagan Federation and the Mormons and tries to explore the singular nature of the town. Enjoy it RH19 (and beyond).

Loco running round at Bluebell Railway East Grinstead
System seems to have catastrophically shortened this video - ooops! The loco that hauled twenty spoil wagons into East Grinstead runs round half the load. To shunt the wagons are split into two lots of 10 and then shunting can commence.
