Tracing the Rails

Tracing the Rails is an independent documentary series that delves into the fascinating history of Britain's disused railway lines, with a special emphasis on the Steyning Line in West Sussex. Our mission is to preserve and share the stories of these forgotten railways, highlighting their importance in the development of local communities and the broader railway network.

Through detailed research, engaging interviews with historians and local residents, and on-site explorations of the remaining infrastructure, we bring these lost railways back to life. The series not only examines the historical and social significance of these lines but also captures the beauty and nostalgia of the steam locomotive era.

Whether you're a railway enthusiast, history buff, or simply interested in local heritage, Tracing the Rails offers a unique window into a bygone era, providing a comprehensive look at the railways that once connected Britain’s towns and villages.
