Wealden Link

Welcome to the Wealden Line Campaign

Introducing "MISSING LINK - ON LINE"

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.

The 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 this website. 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.

Comments

'East Sussex County Council has always been ambivalent about it. They are the ones who have to push it through, and it's something they could perfectly well achieve if they wanted. Another south coast rail link would not just be for the benefit of local villages, and therefore the cost-benefit study has been slightly misconceived. I am keen to see that this is not necessarily the end of the matter.'
