Operation Bluebell

Trevor White shows the birth of the one of the UK's largest heritage railways - now a significant feature of the region's leisure industry. We see various personalities associated with the line's formation as well as many of the volunteers, whose efforts to restore the railway's derelict infrastructure back to a fully operational line are rewarded with the inaugural train, hauled by Brighton Terrier 'Stepney', which ran on the 17th May 1960.
