BML2 Interviews

Brian Hart

BML2 Project Manager, Brian Hart, was recently interviewed by Barry Horsman of local community radio station, UckfieldFM.

 

Hear Brian Hart explain the benefits of BML2 for the whole region, not just for the local inhabitants of Uckfield and Lewes.

 

Newsflash

“The idea that trains could travel non-stop between Brighton and Uckfield is superb, and would revitalise the whole Lewes, Uckfield, Crowborough, Tunbridge Wells corridor.

 

By making it a main line, it would also take away some of the concerns left over from the existing re-opening plans.For example, it would remove the concern that residents of Isfield have that a re-opened line might block off their village – under the BML2 plans there would be no blocked road and no level crossing.”

Welcome to the BML2 Frontpage

This is the report and detailed plans of how a new Second Brighton Main Line would provide the most realistic, reasonable and quickest solution to solve the South East's approaching railway capacity crisis.

The detailed plans show how the new Thameslink service could be considerably enhanced with the introduction of BML2, providing new capacity for intensive services to and through London from both Eastbourne and Brighton.

BML2 could also offer a direct service to Seaford and the redeveloping port of Newhaven for passengers using the Ferry services to France.

Reinstatement of Tunbridge Wells West Station and the link to Eridge would also see the BML2 providing capacity solutions to the Tonbridge Main Line, as well as new travel opportunities.

BML2 when completed will deliver more London-South Coast train services, considerably less over-crowding, a more reliable network, extra capacity elsewhere, a better environment with new travel opportunities especially for those travelling to the University Campus at Falmer or to the new Brighton and Hove Albion Football Stadium currently under construction.

These plans are not wishful thinking but eminently possible, and could be funded either by private investment from the City of London or other financial sources, Network Rail, Transport for London, Regional or National UK Government, European Union or even a combination.
