Berwick station was opened in 1846 on the line from Lewes to Eastbourne. It serves a largely rural area, with the village itself a mile or two away on the other side of the A27. The station is mainly used by commuters but is also popular with walkers and cyclists, as there are several long-distance paths nearby, as well as the gardens at Michelham Priory three miles to the north. At weekends, a bus service operated by Cuckmere Community Bus connects a number of the villages and attractions in the area: details at: http://www.cuckmerebus.freeuk.com The station itself consists of an attractive small building - possibly the 1846 original - on the down (Eastbourne) side, and a wooden building with waiting room on the up (Lewes) side. There is a busy level crossing at one end, operated from an attractive little signal box (from 1876) with old-fashioned semaphore signals. The station is staffed on weekday mornings, but there is a ticket machine on the up platform, as well as cycle storage and a small car park. Both platforms have level access for wheelchairs, and both have a push-button information point giving train times. There is no toilet. The station is operated by Southern, which provides an hourly service each way on the Brighton to Ore (Hastings) service, with occasional through services to London Bridge and Victoria in the weekday peaks. Saturday and Sunday services are also hourly.

I always use…read moresussex cars unless there is for some reason an exceptionally long wait for a car as i find them quite a bit cheaper than this company. For some reason any time i have ever had to use Eastbourne and Country Taxis i've had to pay well over the odds (it seems to me), sometimes as much as £1 or £2 more than for the same journey with sussex cars. For that reason i have only given them 3 stars. However a plus point is the very quick service - i have never really had to wait longer than 15 minutes for one of Eastbourne and Countrys taxis and even that is longer than usual. So can't fault them on speed and timekeeping. Drivers are always polite though often not as friendly as other cab companies drivers.

Second trip to London we took the London underground from Heathrow to Holborn all along the Piccadilly line without transferring. 23 stops along the line but we we were seated the entire time carrying day packs and one carry-on luggage each.. The cost was the equivalent of $7 per person. If you are coming from Heathrow airport during rush hour you can take the Heathrow Express directly from the airport too Paddington station. For two people this would be about the same Fare as Uber. And you would still have to get from Paddington station to your central London hotel. In our case we could have taken the Elizabeth Express from Heathrow airport to Tottenham Court road station and walked the mile to our hotel near Holborn underground station. The fair would have been about double that of the London underground. Both of the Heathrow Express and Elizabeth line are more luggage friendly. Compared to the London underground. The London underground has contactless payment. You simply scan your credit card on entry and scan the same credit card on exit. Seats seats are cloth with armrest. People with oversized luggage can put your luggage near the doors in special areas. is not advised during peak hours was standing room only. Unlike New York City most London stations have working escalators making it possible, but not easy, to carry luggage on the trains. Make sure you put your luggage on its side.

London Underground is certainly cheaper than a taxi or uber, and we had no problems finding room on the trains with our luggage (two people, each with a carry on). Announcements remind you to "mind the gap", and the stations we visited were staffed and welcoming. One even had an inspirational quote up. As expected, some stations are more modern than others since they are utilized more. I loved that I could tap my credit card to get through the gates onto the train, rather than buying a physical card or downloading an app. I wish the DC Metro used this system.

It is basically the stadium for the Brighton soccer team (football rather - Brighton And Hove Albion who just got an undeserved point against us thanks to corrupt CIty-sponsored refs using VAR to rig things), which is weird because it's such a little station and yet it serves the massive stadium that is literally overshadowing it, if you look from a certain angle. The stadium is enormous and dwarfs the station, which on a match day will get masses of traffic, and the rest of the time it's just pretty dead. So you want to be a farmer? Here's a couple of acres (kicks you in the testicles).

Falmer Station is a traditional English railway station one would find out of town, or perhaps in a…read moresmall town or village, this, of course, serves the Falmer area of Brighton, which also happens to be right next to The Falmer Stadium, known as The Amex for sponsorship reasons which is home to Brighton and Hove Albion FC. On a match-day, fans can travel from here into Brighton centre for free as long as they have a match-ticket, which is an incredible and cool gesture from the club to arrange, and they even include away fans, I was for sure glad of it as a Manchester City supporter. The inclusion of this station in such a key location serving the stadium built in 2011, makes it a really easy stadium to get to and possibly in line with the likes of the Etihad Stadium and Wembley in a way, which both have stations either built in to the stadium or just a stone's throw away. The trains aren't regular serving here on any other day, which is a flaw, but the main flow of people using the station would be on a match-day heading to a game when they run extra trains every 10 minutes in both directions to and from Brighton (direct service) anyway. It is located on the East Coastway line, the main cities served on that line being Eastbourne and of course Brighton. A regular service on a non-match-day, or if you don't catch a special direct train can take anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes. On a match-day the queuing system after the game is handled incredibly well and deserved credit, I didn't have to wait too long and there were so many staff on hand to help and answer any questions if needed, to the point I'd say it was probably better than the Metrolink station serving the Etihad Campus in that regard. No facilities at the station, however, it is step-free, so if you were planning to get a drink before heading back into Brighton from here, you're out of luck. A great station on a match-day, if allowing plenty of time before the match, and coming back not too late after, but pretty much below average at any other time, other than having a perfect location for the football stadium (Again not as good for away fans, who are located at the other end of the ground) 3*

The Kent and East Sussex Railway is a preserved steam railway which makes for an excellent family…read moreday out. Formerly a classic rural branch line, it has an interesting history and runs through stunning scenery. History Plans to link the ancient inland port of Tenterden to the rest of the railway network were made throughout the 19th century, but it was not until 1900 that a line from Robertsbridge (on the Hastings main line) to Tenterden was opened, extended to Headcorn on the Ashford main line in 1905. The line was built under what was then new legislation as a cheaply engineered 'Light Railway', running along the beautiful Rother Valley past Bodiam Castle to reach Tenterden. The engineer was the famous Colonel Holman Fred Stephens, who built and/or managed some 16 light railways in rural parts of the UK. The line survived as an independent operation after the First World War which saw most of Britain's railway companies amalgamated into the 'Big Four', but struggled financially from the 1930s onwards. After nationalisation in 1948, traffic ebbed away even faster, and the line was closed to passengers in 1954, and the Headcorn to Tenterden section closed completely. The Tenterden to Robertsbridge section survived until 1961 for freight. Preservationists fought hard to secure this unique line, which reopened in stages from 1974, to its present length in 2000. The Route The line runs from its headquarters in the attractive market town of Tenterden down through the valley of the River Rother to Bodiam, just five minutes' walk from the famous castle. The line follows marshland for much of its length, and part of it is even below sea level! Tenterden has a car park, shop, cafeteria, carriage shed and a small museum. The next stop is Rolvenden, the original terminus in 1900 and home to the loco shed. The next stop, Wittersham Road, really is in the former marshlands, and the ditches alongside the railway were once part of a crayfish farm. The line now joins the Rother Valley proper, towards the station at Northiam. This too has a large car park. The line then continues, with fine views of Bodian castle, to the small country station of Bodiam. Plans are afoot to reopen the section to Robertsbridge, but this is a significant undertaking (with a river and three road crossings to reinstate). The work is being undertaken by the Rother Valley Railway (http://www.rvr.org.uk) . The railway has an eclectic array of rolling stock: in keeping with its rural background, all but one loco are tank engines, and there are diesel locos and railcars as well. One of the best features is the prevalence of pre-war passenger coaches, including rare pre World War One 4-wheeled main line stock, and some very comfortable former Southern railway coaches from the 1930s. The railway lays on a number of regular events, including popular 'Thomas the Tank Engine' days, gala days with extra locomotives in steam, and Pullman dining trains - a good excuse to dress up! Practicalities There are car parks at Tenterden and Northiam, but not at the other stations, and refreshment facilities, a shop and museum at Tenterden. For information about disabled access and facilities, (including car parking, toilets and trains) see their website. All in all, this makes for an excellent day out.
