Ore

[8ace]

Where did you find it Mr ace? A line of Brighton built loco's in the mid ground and almost brand new Goldstone Floodlights in the background.
Could be 1963 from the snow on the ground and the tank loco's waiting to go for scrap.

I was trying to find the answer to Lord B's quiz question and stumbled across it. I'll try and find the website again but I don't think you are far off with the date skip.

Edit: found it.

Nobody has yet answered it. I'll have another go.

Where's this?

If they ever stuck a high speed rail link from somewhere out that way into London town,

that old chestnut the old hiogh speed link from hastings. f***ing hell if i had a quid for every time i heard that was what was going to cure hastings.

It looks French?

Listening to station announcements got me wondering .. what is Ore? Where even is Ore? Doesn't it sound stupid to say "calling at Eastbourne and Ore?" Is it the most embarrassing and pointless terminus ever? Does anyone even live there? It it worth visiting?

Can anyone enlighten me about Ore?

It kind of makes sense, it's the last station in Hastings.

Is it.... Is it Norway ? Actually.

I always like the sound of St Leonards Warrior Square. Never been there, but conjures up visions of a mighty army, possibly Roman or Viking, taking rest in the town square. Swords and shields EVERYWHERE!

I remember taking my nephew to Battle by train when he was about 7 or 8 and telling to watch out of all the warriors on the platform at St Leonards. It was early morning though, so when we got there it was full of commuters heading for London.

A less "warrior like" bunch would be hard to imagine. He thought it was hilarious.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It looks French?

Nope.

hove

Yep. But not as we know it.

Is it.... Is it Norway ? Actually.

Nope.

I have a place in Ashford Kent, and i think i have to come threw Ore to get to Newhaven, not sure as i usually have a nap on the train

I believe that Southern/Connex/Railtrack/Network Rail trialled a purpose designed vandal proof shelter there a few years back. It was wrecked within a very short time!

The Marshlink trains go through Ore but I don't think they stop there any more. It is the end of the third rail from London and I believe most trains used to terminate there rather than in Hastings station as there used to be a depot and crew signing on point. I am sure that there are fellow anoraks on this board who can expand. Very evocative pic of the loco's at Hove - is that a "K" class on the far right, if only one could have been saved for the Bluebell Railway.

Both Ore and Warrior Square are relative shit holes, but I'd take Warrior Square any day.

Hmmmm, I'm just trying to work out whether they're a bunch of sad pathetic chavs taking themselves too seriously or a piece of comedy genius as Hastings' answer to Goldie Lookin Chain. Either way, the beats are OK.

A little quiz ...

Anyone ever been here?

And does anyone know where it is?

Adelaide, I believe

 

[fork me]

Is it the one in Adelaide? Not been there but have been through WEST CROYDON on the way back from Port Adelaide.

That's nothing, I went through New York on the way to Boston....


....in Lincolnshire.

What good parts?

I've had some of my best nights out in Hastings Old Town. Awesome place.

First time I went in the Nelly I got pissed out of my tiny little mind. I didn't happen to be in that part of town for another six months, but as soon as I walked in, the landlady said "alright Jason, pint of Kronenberg is it?". That either a damn good memory, or I made a "bit of an impression" the first time.

 

[fork me]

At least you can get something decent to eat in Hastings ... which is more than I can say for Eastbourne.

What do you call "something decent"? I worked in Eastbourne for 11 years, there are some very good restaurants there. Pomadoro e mozzarella is a very good Italian pizza restaurant, and (I need to make sure no-one looking over my shoulder here in Cyprus while I type this) there is an awesome Turkish Meze restaurant.

There were sheds there until the 80's I think, there is also some siding which make it easy to change the train around without being on the main line which they would be at Hastings I think.

I'll have to ask my Dad as he was based there when he was a driver

Nope.


Yep. But not as we know it.


Nope.

Can I also just say that Hastings is one of the most attractive and interesting towns in Sussex. Why don't the dreary, suburban mid Sussex dormitory towns get suitably abused.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Adelaide, I believe

Nope.
