Haha, thanks !

Thank you for the kind comment, and for facilitating the experience!

Thanks!

Thanks! Looks like you were just up from me then !

Yes, access to the stations, including Ropley yard, is by travel ticket only.

Thanks!

Thanks very much !

Thanks very much! Would definitely recommend a visit, the scenery is impressive and the collection of locomotives and coaching stock is expansive. Thanks again for the comment!

Thanks! Will have a look at your channel.

@@jrrailwayvideos8762, Cheers and thanks. :)

Shame it's no longer in service but hopefully it'll steam again one day !

Thanks! And I agree, a lovely locomotive with lots of character. Shame it is now out of service pending major overhaul but hopefully we'll see it again in not too long!

Thanks very much!

What remained of the Ashurst spur was removed as it sits on land not owned by the SpVR, previously borrowed by them from an agreeable landowner, but the new landowner wanted it back. As for a connection at Eridge, these are expensive to install as they involve track replacement and changes to signalling, at the end of which a connection which might be used twice per year for railtours or visiting locomotives is the result. Running to Uckfield would require mainline certification of locomotives and rolling stock which would again be very expensive for limited gain. The upshot is that, in my opinion, the Spa Valley Railway has a very resourceful setup (in terms of making the most of its limited length) and does a very good job of running a preserved railway.

Thanks!

Thanks very much, hope he enjoys it!

Thanks !

Thanks very much!

Thanks! I like to vary locations and go for the less than obvious shots!

Thanks!

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much! I agree, it was nice to have a Bulleid down on the South Coast

I agree, especially with the pair of Bulleid coaches in the formation !

Thanks! Didn't realise it had previously been based at Bodmin & Wenford, interesting to know, thank you.

@@jrrailwayvideos8762 You're welcome. :)

Yes of course, that's fine, if you wouldn't mind posting a link to my original video in your description I'd appreciate it. I look forward to seeing what you have created !

Presumably will be put on static display in SteamWorks! until such time when it is next overhauled
