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

"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"

19 April 2010: BML2 Website Launched PDF Print E-mail

Today sees the launch of a new website www.bml2.co.uk, which transforms the rebuilding of the Lewes to Uckfield as well as the Eridge to Tunbridge Wells railway lines from local schemes, into a major new scheme as an important part of a second Brighton Main Line.

The plans that have been published today show how a direct railway can be built from London to both Brighton and Seaford/Eastbourne without having to change trains at Lewes. Rebuilding the link from Eridge to Tunbridge Wells, would also provide relief on the Tonbridge/Redhill line and also enable a large swathe of people to travel to the Universities at Falmer as well as carrying spectators to football matches at the nearby stadium currently being built for Brighton & Hove Albion.

 
22 June 2009: MISSING LINK Online PDF Print E-mail

As a member of the Wealden Line Campaign, members will occasionally receive a printed newsletter called MISSING LINK which provides in-depth background information of our efforts to get the railway line rebuilt between Lewes and Uckfield and also between Eridge and Tunbridge Wells.

This latest edition of the newsletter is, however, deserving of a much wider audience as besides highlighting the increasing capacity crisis facing South East Routes, it also exposes the reasons why the 2008 Lewes-Uckfield Railway Line Study was doomed to failure even before it was started.

We have therefore decided to provide everyone the opportunity to download and print off their own copy from the Downloads Section of our other website at www.wealdenlink.org.uk. It is essential reading for not only residents along the current Hurst Green - Uckfield line, but also of the many railway passengers who are forced to endure cramped and often delayed journeys along the Brighton Main Line to places such as Lewes, Eastbourne or Seaford from Central London.

Also, if you want to see for yourself, how easy it would be to rebuild the Lewes - Uckfield Missing Link, why not come along to our Annual Walk on July 18th 2009  which starts from Lewes Station at 10.30am, and what's more, you don't have to be a member to participate.

For details on how to become a member of the Wealden Line Campaign, please see the Join Us! Section of this website
