Weekly Wind-Up #2268 2268 ? 1 October 2026 CROWBOROUGH AND BURWASH (COH) Afternoon bus tour, evening at The Wheatsheaf, TN6 2NF Today we repeat the trip that we made in January 2024 to Lakedown brewery in Burwash. Hopefully our scheduling will allow us to sample the green hopped beer at their taproom in the Fishermans Lodge, but they are also aware that we like dark beer. We doubt that the lake will be frozen over this time, but please don't swim! Our bus will depart from Crowborough station at 12:15 to include the brewery visit and a couple of country pubs before rounding off with a return to The Wheatsheaf, Crowborough as our evening venue, from about 17:30. Harvey's beers are available at The Wheatsheaf, including Mild or Old as the dark offering. Food is available from the normal menu from 18:00. By necessity we have to use a single deck bus, so please use this link to ensure that you have a seat. You don't need to use the bus if only appearing at The Wheatsheaf, there's a footpath from Crowborough station at the end of Farningham Road.

Giants of Steam Friday 16th - Sunday 18th October 2026 The Bluebell Railway's much-loved Giants of Steam gala returns this October. Celebrating the power, presence, and prestige of Britain's largest and most impressive steam locomotives. Following the success of previous Giants of Steam events ? which have seen some of the country's most famous heavy express engines working intensive services across the line ? the 2026 gala promises another unforgettable weekend of big engines, big sounds, and big spectacle. BR 9F No. 92134 will be visiting us for Giants Of Steam 2026* We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Self Family and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR). Their generosity and hard work in maintaining this icon have made it possible for 92134 to join our 2026 Giants Weekend line-up. Joining 92134 for Giants Of Steam 2026 is 71000 Duke of Gloucester* Its appearance at the Bluebell Railway offers a rare opportunity to see this unique locomotive operating in a heritage setting, adding considerable prestige to the 2026 event. A small but mighty addition to Giants of Steam 2026: 41313! The locomotive will make its first appearance back as a visiting engine at our Giants of Steam Gala, taking place from 16-18 October 2026, before remaining at the Bluebell Railway throughout the winter months. We are extremely grateful to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway for their generosity in making this visit possible and for the continued friendship between our two railways. We look forward to welcoming No. 41313 back to the Bluebell Railway and are sure it will be a popular addition to both Giants of Steam and our winter services. 73082, 80151 and 34059 join our visitors in action for Giants Of Steam! BR Standard 4MT No. 80151 BR Standard 5MT No. 73082 Camelot Rebuilt Bulleid Battle of Britain No. 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair These three locomotives make a particularly strong home-fleet line-up for Giants of Steam, representing three different generations of British railway engineering and, in the case of 80151 and 34059, a particularly strong connection with Brighton Works and the Southern Region.
