Thanks for the video. I do wish we'd have far more steam hauled specials down to Eastbourne. I think the last one was about 4 years ago now with Bulleid Pacific 34067 Tangmere. The wife and I had a ride behind 46115 Scots Guardsman, short clip uploaded to my youtube page, on the Scarbourgh Spa Express in the Summer and just wished we could have this around my home town. Is there any reason why we have so few steam hauled specials to Eastbourne compared to the rest of the network? Cheers
Thanks, the dreaded ticket barriers are in already, in my view the whole station building needed knocking down and starting again, it is not up to the job anymore, it is far busier now than 1986, the booking hall is going to be freezing cold in the winter and I feel sorry for the poor people having to man them, of course the Platform 1 side is not manned just monitored so easy for people just to jump over/go through with others instead of having a ticket(as witnesed loads of times)
@BRsignalman Thanks for that info! Any idea what they are like with letting enthusiasts onto the platform? Sounds very much the the situation that happend at Beacosnfield and many other Station although I would want to see Beacosnfield Station knocked down, they should have just let it as it was!
Great video,I was on the train at the time.It was a very enjoyable day out.

Great video, I’ve heard their planning to put in automatic ticket barriers at Polegate Station, any idea if this has happened yet?

Running in a bit fast for the 35mph on the bend! Hopefully Hampden Park had the gates down to get him a green on PG3....

Passed the board bang on 35 :-)
The Siggy at the Park would have had to be quick as you say.
