EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Brighton Blue Belle train pulling into Brighton Station in the 1960s. The platform is filled with a crowd of people, some dressed in Victorian costume, eagerly anticipating the beginning of a new era in transportation. The steam locomotive, with its ornate design and blue and cream livery, dominates the scene, its roof puffing out clouds of smoke as it comes to a gentle halt. The sense of excitement and nostalgia is palpable, as the people crane their necks to get a better view of the historic machine. The route from London to Brighton, which opened in 1841, was one of the first mainline railways in Britain and this photograph captures the essence of a bygone era. The sepia tones add to the historical feel, transporting us back to a time when travel was a grand occasion and the romance of the railway was at its height.
