Semaphore Sunrise at West Worthing

Taken looking into the sunrise in early 1988, we can make out a class 33 heading west past the former car sheds at West Worthing having passed through the station with the 08.30 Brighton to Cardiff. The centre road here is the turnback siding for shuttle services to and from Brighton.

The car sheds on the left were constructed when the route was electrified in the 1930s and could hold 3 x 12 car rakes under cover. Latterly they were used to provide covered storage for the preserved 2-BIL and 4-SUB units.

They were demolished in early 2008 but the tracks are still used for stabling EMU stock.
