Ouse Valley Railway

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Ouse Valley Railway was a railway which was to have formed part of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LBSCR). It was authorised by an Act of Parliament and construction of the 20 miles (32 km) long line was begun, but not completed. It never opened to traffic. In the 1860s, both the South Eastern Railway and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway were proposing to build railways to Brighton and Eastbourne. To counter this threat, the LBSCR proposed to build a 20 miles (32 km) long railway linking the Haywards Heath, Uckfield, and Hailsham.
