Welcome to 'Tracing the Rails', a captivating documentary series that invites viewers to journey through the heart of Sussex’s railway heritage.

Currently we are filming Webisode 4 for YouTube and Episode 16-20 for Rewind TV, illuminating the fascinating history of the now vanished Shoreham to Horsham railway line, affectionately referred to as The Steyning Line.

Join our host, Stephen Cranford, acclaimed from BBC Radio Sussex, as we uncover hidden stories, engage with local communities, and reveal visuals of the once-thriving Steyning Line. Expertly directed by Chris Kirk, produced by Lou Kirk-Partridge and co-presented by our wonderful transport historian Mike Jaimes, who are proud to be joining forces with Stephen.

Proud to support and be part of
