I have a very early memory of jumping down on the track at Brighton with my old man. I think it was the final running of the Kemp Town branch which I think was 1973 or 74 . Not sure if we did the trip bit went to the open day . There literally no one who can verify this.
The occasion you attended happened on 26th June 1971. The final passenger train, which ran throughout that day.
The line was officially closed to passengers in the 1930's, but specials were sometimes ran.
