They used to work the in and out of Crawley New Yard and down to Newhaven on aggregate trains. 56s, 58s and 60s did these workings in the 90s. It was a 58 that hauled away the 4CIG units that were involved in the Lewes train crash in 18th October 1999… I filmed it a couple of days after the crash running up Hamsey Bank north of Lewes. Got the film in the loft somewhere. A 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my favourite 66 livery but this is the first time I’ve seen 783 trundling past. Sadly as I’m still in isolation for a couple more days so I didn’t get to see it better than out of a window. As my iPad isn’t up to much at distance the photo was pretty dreadful…..really must get a decent camera. I’m looking forward to the summer months when I can get out to see the Down Newhaven workings in daylight.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted December 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 30, 2022 No photo unfortunately but just before midnight at that far flung post of the Sussex Coast, Warblington, I was passed by a very modellable formation consisting of old Freightliner livery Class 66's topping and tailing a delightful rake of very tatty old OCA wagons brimmed with old signals and gantrys, probably from the Victoria Area Resignalling Scheme. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
