This is the site of Hartington Road Halt. This train is the daily afternoon goods approaching the Bonchurch Road cutting.

My word, it's actually quite a fun article.
Did you travel on one of the last trains ?

I think so. I can’t be sure. I found this ticket at my Mum’s house earlier this week. I have always had a memory of walking across railway lines with my dad. Trouble is I would have been 2 and a half . Sadly there is no one left who properly remembers

Never seen that one in colour before.
Now the inane ramblings are being shunted into the sidings this is beginning to read like a thread for Geoff:-
As per usual winding people up and always looking for an argument.

Don't knock him. He's apparently a 'journalist'.
I traveled on that train that day with my dad.
I just remembered I had this photo saved on my iPad.
I know your question has already been answered, but thought you might want to see this.

The word literally is an irritating millennial tic which proper journalists should avoid, also there is no apostrophe in Sainsburys either.
It has come to something when someone like myself can easily correct one of your word salads, or should that be literally correct one of your word salads?

What's that thing between the y and the s in the photo?
I was only 6 years old so I don't remember that much.
My dad knew the driver that day as he was also a driver for BR, we did travel up front with the driver for one of the trips.

I'd love to have gone through that tunnel as well as over the Lewes Road viaduct.
I wish I could remember it clearly.
I grew up very near the viaduct and remember when it was demolished, I did have a brick as souvenir.

This is one of the most evocative local history pictures I have ever seen.

The whole enterprise seems to have been an expensive dead loss. I am sure that I read that the locals alleged that you could walk from Brighton station to Kemp Town quicker that the train, and the "as the crow flies" distance between the two stations was considerably less than the rail route,

Nonsense. Before the intermediate stations Lewes Road and Hartington Road it took ten minutes.
