Yes, it is going to sit at East Grinstead until the Bluebell Railway's new extension opens. No idea how long it'll take, suppose it all depends on how much money they can keep on raising to fund the work excavation work at Imberhorne tip. I belive they hopeto have the extension up during 2010. The VEP's roll at East Grinstead is to publisise the Bluebell Railway coming into EG so it won't be no good using it to carry out this roll after the extension opens

Thanks for the comments as always lads, i'm sure I saw you too Craig just so many people at East Grinstead we could'nt believe it when we arrived.

I just hope and agree with everyone on the safety of the unit its in such good condition would be a shame if it was vandalised sadly it does seem a bit exposed where it is. Time will tell I guess.

Yes, it was unbelievably busy there wasn't it. Don't think East Grinstead has ever been so busy before
