BLUEBELL RAILWAY

Having dipped our feet in the waters that are Castles, Theme Parks, Rivers and National Stadiums, it was decided that McCarthy and Witham needed to visit a new area of fine British life. With this in mind, we moved into the section of Steam Railways - with a visit to Sussex very own Bluebell Railway

 

Witham is delighted to arrive at Sheffield Park Station In order to fit in with your stereotypical train spotter, McCarthy wore bright white socks and pulled them up as high as physically possible
Witham hands over his bargain £9 for the trip on the railway There she is, the train in all her glory
On board, and Witham questions whether Adolph Hitler had traveled in this very compartment. We thought it unlikely McCarthy takes advantage of the toilet, and we wonder how many people have engaged in casual sex in it throughout the years
Gareth is ready and waiting on the platform to send the train on its journey The train pulls into its first stop - Horsted Keynes - and we see Doug and Mike discussing matters. No doubt they are cousins of Oli Wright and all other inhabitants of the village
At our final stop, and Brian uncouples the train from the carriage in order for it to turn around McCarthy is delighted to see the engine is from the British Railways
Witham wonders what has been in this carrier of some description McCarthy attempts to eat a bit of coal
Then realises where he could insert it Back at Sheffield Park, and Witham is happy to see a green train in the engine shed
Despite the no climbing rule, McCarthy boards a train A whole shed full of trains - it really was heaven
The train we were on is turned around for another journey for a new set of enthusiasts  The model railway had a woman grooming a horse. We attempted to break down the glass in order to adjust the pose, but alas, it was not happening
The day is rounded off in style with McCarthy performing the traditional Bruce Forsyth pose - before we headed to Pizza Hut in Crawley
