    An excellent video. Thanks for posting, Mike.

    Thinking ahead to the proposed reopening date of Easter 2028, I couldn't help thinking of the contrast between the sunny weather at the time this video was made and the weather on the last occasion an extension to Sussex's rail network was opened to passengers - in this case just before Easter 2013. On the day the first public trains ran from Sheffield Park through to East Grinstead, it snowed!

    Incidentally, there is a highly amusing glitch in the subtitles to the video. When talking about the National Trust's enthusiasm for the environmental benefits of people being able to travel to Bodiam Castle by train, it mentions the resultant reduction in "carbon visitors" as opposed to "car-borne visitors"!

    The subtitles are auto-generated by YouTube (if you have the "CC" button clicked) - so not the fault of the producer of the video. For an automatic system they are quite good, but from time to time you do see such howlers as you noticed!
