Default Steam on the Brighton line 23/9

Earlier this morning, about 1040, I heard the unmistakable sound of a
steam train in the area of Three Bridges station sounding as if it
were running from London to Brighton.

Can anyone point me at a web site which might give me info about any
return journey with timings?

I tried Google, but he wasn't my friend!

It certainly was and I was lucky enough to be having an early birthday
present.
We got back to Victoria at 20.05 but not via Three Bridges.
