Yet another rail reopening project has comfortably exceeded its traffic forecasts. In what has become a trend with recent rail reopening schemes, the 18-mile Ebbw Valley line linking Ebbw Vale and Cardiff beat its first year passenger target in the first six months of operation. Once again, it makes us question the reliability of the traffic projections used in the latest Lewes - Uckfield reopening study. |

"There is a growing awareness that only seven miles of closed trackbed separate Uckfield from Lewes and access to the Brighton conurbation. This is an area where latent potential is going to waste for want of imaginative development of existing resources."
