Norman Baker, Lewes Liberal Democrat MP, and others, deserve congratulations on their fight to re-open the Lewes to Uckfield rail link.

This outcome would have a major impact on our environment, transport links, congestion on the Brighton/London line and all close by economies.

Elections – may I urge all parties and candidates throughout Sussex to write letters to the editor backing the restoration of this rail link.
