80151

            British Railways standard class 4 tank engine number 80151 at Horsted Keynes, Bluebell Railway on 31st July 2021. 80151 was turned out from Brighton Works in January 1957, the fourth from last steam locomotive to be built there. (80154 was the last in March 1957). In my opinion, these were the best looking of the 2-6-4T locomotives on British Railways. They were capable of some very speedy running. I well recall a trip from Barcombe Mills to Brighton that was running late. We accelerated from Barcombe Mills like a rocket and careered down the track at breakneck speed eventually reaching Brighton spot on time. I remember this as my grandmother was with us and she proceeded to the cab of the locomotive and gave the footplate crew something of an ear bashing for "dangerous driving" !!

Barcombe Mills Station closed in 1969. It had been slated for closure in the 1963 Beeching report but closure was delayed pending a public enquiry. The track was lifted in 1970 but the station itself has been restored and is in private ownership. My grandfather was a keen fisherman and the station was near to some very good fishing on the River Ouse.
