Singled Out
An early afternoon Eastbourne to Ashford service slows for the stop at the remote Winchelsea station. The station, which is around a mile from the town, is served by Southern class 171 diesel units which run between Eastbourne and Ashford.
Back in 1979 the stretch of line between Appledore and Ore was singled, with a passing loop at Rye. At Winchelsea, which has staggered platforms, services now use the former Up platform which just has a tiny shelter on the platform. The main station buildings on the former Down platform are now in private ownership.
