Overview

From the very first filming contract in 1961, the Bluebell Railway in Sussex has hosted myriad film and TV stars over more than six decades. We have travelled the world, visited numerous different stations, both real and fictional, met a variety of famous characters and had many adventures along the way. This book explores that journey through a series of feature films, films for TV, classic detective dramas, factual/educational programmes, commercials, pop videos, costume dramas and much more besides. Tastes have changed over the decades, as have the way that films are made and how we can watch them. What hasn’t changed, even with the advent of CGI, is that when producers want historic trains within a historic setting, nothing seems to look quite as good as a real train in an authentic location. Join us for the ride as you travel the Bluebell Railway – the line to the stars.
