On the list of links to the right of this page is one entitled: New Railway for Brighton. An interesting site. Last Friday the Courier newspaper carried a two page spread article on the proposals by the Wealden Link to re-open the Uckfield-Lewes line and much more besides.
The Courier's editorial was devoted to supporting the proposals. More and more people and realising the value of re-opening this short section of railway and but for the intransigence of East Sussex County Council it is likely that we could be looking forward to the re-opening of the line in a few years time. Eventually, the line will be re-opened: but only after years of travel misery for many.
The Courier also reported on plans to drive a new road into the North Farm Retail Park. Again, this should have been done years ago. Longfield Road is hopelessly congested and matters are not helped by the traffic jams which build up at the junction of Longfield Road and the A21. When Bluewater was planned a key element was building suitable transport infrastructure before the centre opened. Sadly, this has not been the case with North Farm.
