The article from The Telegraph highlights 10 of the UK's picturesque railway lines, particularly focusing on the Wealden Line that connected Lewes and Tunbridge Wells. Operational from 1858 until its decline in 1969 due to Beeching's restructuring, the line was known for its stunning views across the Weald fields. While most of it is no longer operational, significant sections are preserved through heritage railways, allowing visitors to experience the region's historical charm, underlining the cultural importance of these lost routes.
The Wealden Line, lost to Beeching's axe, was a 25-mile route connecting Sussex and Kent, known for its scenic views and past transport significance.
Despite its closure in 1969, sections of the Wealden Line remain in use today, with heritage railways allowing enthusiasts to relive its historical significance.
