Spa Valley Railway

So when I went to Crowborough on Thursday I noticed something interesting at the previous station Eridge: a preserved railway! This turned out to be the Spa Valley Railway and I travelled along the line behind a lovely NSE liveries Class 73 to Tunbridge Wells in Kent. My journey back to Eridge was hauled by a steam locomotive! The perfect way to end an amazing rail adventure. You can see my Spa Valley Railway photos here.

Continuing onto Crowborough

After Oxted I continued along the line to Crowborough, picking the destination as it sounded the most interesting! Crowborough is a town in East Sussex, the first time I have been to this county for a long time. You can see my photos here. In going to Crowborough I also passed through Eridge and noticed something really interesting I had to go back and check out, more on that later!
