Our aim is to secure the restoration of Uckfield line train services to
Lewes and Tunbridge Wells, creating a new Wealden Line which would:
1) Provide new travel opportunities across East Sussex and Kent
2) Stimulate the local economy
3) Benefit the environment by relieving road congestion

Wealden Line Campaign

founded in 1986
an independent, non-profit-making organisation

"We're not spending much time on Lewes-Uckfield at the moment - it's very clear that East Sussex County Council is trying to stop the project"

The Department for Transport has an important role to play in any project to reopen the Wealden Line. If you want to remind them of this, follow this link.

Please head your letter / email "Wealden Line Reopening" so they can identify the amount of public support there is for this scheme.

You could also write to the chief executive of Govia, which owns the local train operator Southern:
