Taken on 26.07.2009 this shot shows the start of construction at East Grinstead. All that can be seen is some pipes and piles of earth, but in reality much work has taken place to install water and electricity. A start has also been made on footings for the platform. The ground is mainly rock, making the task particularly difficult. 0122

In 2009 Bluebell installed new signs on the site of their new station at East Grinstead. There is nothing wrong with the printing; the sign was photographed at a slight angle. 26.07.2009 0119

Prior to the installation of new signs the old sign was beginning to look rather tired, and was unfortunately obscured by a more modern East Grinstead sign. 02.04.2007
