Excellent video, much as I remember, including the mini-golf. My father would have drunk in the Bo-Peep around this time.

Gosh, the Hastings footage certainly brings back some memories. We used to holiday there every year, I must go back at some point!

Sad that the water balance system is no more but at least the railway is still there.

At around 5mins in, there is mention of the LB&SCR route. Just beyond the bridge on the left would have been West Marina station, steam engine sheds and turntable. To the right is West St Leonards station. To go to either station, you would board a train and change either at St Leonards Warrior Square or to Hastings for the Tunbridge Wells service and Eastbourne service respectively. Hastings has lifts to all platforms, whereas Warrior Square has a stepped footbridge.

Thanks John, have been past there plenty of times myself, I understand the Bo peep junction would have been like the boundary of the LB&SCR and SER lines

@@seanclark6438 When SER put their line in, they cut through the LB&SCR tracks, and had to have a separate station at Hastings.

This is from the 1066 DC driver eye view VHS video. While the content was interesting, I think the camera zoom was too high giving a less speedy look when the train was moving. This was either a limitation of where they could put the camera in the cab and the small driving window. Or it made it easier to narrate.

Interesting...particularly at 1.37 to 1.42 when u showed what Hastings rail station used to look like before it was demolished because I'd forgotten what it used to look like - shame u didn't film it inside.

Thanks for sharing this footage. It reminds me of my youth in the town too. It's good to see the original Hastings Station building again. The new one is functional and spartan! I can remember when the line you are travelling was only usable by steam trains!!
