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

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
Where exactly was the Kemp town train station?
Looking at pictures, I can't work out where it would've been. The Gala bingo hall on Edward street does have a painted tunnel and train placed on the corner of the building and I know it's in reference to the train line, but looking at the pictures, there used to be a tunnel which has now been filled. Where was this? Also, where was Hartington rd train station which was on the same line?
I traveled on that train that day with my dad.
there is no apostrophe in Sainsburys either.
It left from the lower platform at Brighton station ?
Do have any memories ?
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.

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,
