As there was never electrification between Horstwad Keynes and Sheffield Park, I don't see the need there.

The question is, would it run further from Haywards Heath than Horsted Kyenes? :D

Playing devil's advocate I don't see any legal reason why they can't choose to operate under a higher order than the light railways one. I fully accept why it won't happen in the real world. I would love it to happen but appreciate it can't.

Have any rail tours used steam engines at the back to help them instead of a diesel?

I appreciate everything you say but what happens if a member of the public arrives by public transport and misses their connection home at the end? Should people allow an extra 60 minutes at the end of their trip to account for potential delays during the trip? I appreciate it is a minority...

Well I'd need to have cycle training first and allot money to buying a bike. Neither likely to happen any time soon. Too many other interests. 1676906873 Well the Bluebell Railway want to run to Haywards Heath but maybe that will be a separate platform in some way.

I've done that route before, as well as the train via Middlesborough. Cycling it sounds lovely. Alas, due to disabilies I could only ride a bike if it has at least three wheels but I don't as some people thought I'd look silly riding one.

Whilst I fully accept their arguments, as someone who doesn't drive, I wish it had been possible to extend it to the end of the original route.

It did. I was just reminded of it when someone was talking about OLE.

Guildford station was rebuilt in 1987. Not all of it was rebuilt fhen though. That would be 1980s. It is going to be rebuilt again soon enough. So if one wanted to recreate it.

Imagine the issues if someone wanted to recreate the London and Brighton South Coast Railway OLE. I can't remember the voltage off hand but I am sure it isn't one used now.

I'd love to see an electric preserved railway but it would require more health and safety work composted to a diesel or steam line.

Nice. A friends Gran leaves in Beverly so I must find out if they have been there.

I was attending an Advanced Streets training course a few years ago and that is where I first heard of the gaslighting in London. If I remember correctly, one council, I think Westminister, maintains it on behalf of the other. So either they maintain it for the City of London or it's the other...

I never realised caravans were gas lit too. I once stayed in a YHA that was lit by gas but that's about it.

Are there any gas lit carriages in preservation? If so can they be run in service or would they be considered too much of a safety risk these days?

There are still some gas lamps in central London. Whilst taking safety into account, we should preserve some of our heritage like this. I've been to Sheffield Park numerous times over the years but not at night. I must do that some day. I once stayed in a hostel in Wales lit by gas.

I thought that might be the case. It's understandable even if I'd like to travel in a gas lit train once in my life.

Rothley Station on the Grand Central Railway is lit by gas. As the below web page mentions: http://www.gcrailway.co.uk/station-facilities/rothley/ Are there any other preserved railway stations lit this way? Also is there any rolling stock lit by gas, in use?

So I take it one doesn't look ahead to check for any obstructions when going through a tunnel as you might when driving outside of a tunnel.
