Once upon a time, a little girl and her Daddy went for a ride on a steam train. The train went from nowhere to nowhere.

Several years later, that same little girl (now a big girl) went for a ride on the same steam train. The train still went from nowhere to nowhere, but went considerably closer to somewhere than when the big girl had been a little girl.

That steam train still runs on the Bluebell Railway, and that somewhere is East Grinstead. Connecting up to the main line has been a long-held ambition of the Bluebell's, so please help me to help the Bluebell complete its extension.
