Bluebell supporters and committee members have expressed interest in re-building the line south by three more stations to Lewes. However, a substantial number of large civil engineering obstacles and intrusions onto the former trackbed make this a difficult project to envisage the completion of. For execution, the project would require: The bridging of the raised, widened and re-aligned A275 road immediately south of Sheffield Park The re-excavation of waste-infill under the former road bridges just south of Sheffield Park and Barcombe stations The in-filling since of the cutting and former route under the A272 road The re-excavation of waste-infill at the former , which includes industrial waste producing large amounts of methane gas discharges The fact that a large private housing estate has been built on and surrounding the former Newick and Chailey site The remaining undeveloped line from Lewes to Sheffield Park has been safeguarded as a bridleway and footpath.
