Things to do in Barcombe Mills Station, East Sussex |
||
|
BR made extensive use of the route through Barcombe Mills Station for diversions from the Brighton line right up until closure, with the winter of 1968-69 being particularly busy.
Because the route was not electrified, Hastings line diesel units were used for these services, providing a disinct improvement on the usual rolling stock.
In this view, 1034 and a sister-unit speed through on a Victoria-Newhaven boat train on 13 October. On arrival at Lewes, the train will reverse to complete the final leg of its journey to the coast.
