I had a couple of hours in the Brighton area today, mainly to photograph 57315 and 47786 top and tailing the 'Sussex Belle Express' from Carnforth to Eastbourne. I also took the opportunity to shoot some of the new infrastructure in the area , and some of the older bits and pieces that are still clinging on.
