A great watch…. Brilliantly done! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hoping we can see Episode 2 soon? 🚂🚂

When is the follow up please? Have I missed it?!!

Why all fencing along platforms ?

14.55: In 1841 the most direct route wasn't by "ferry" from Shoreham, but by "packet" from the Royal Suspension Chain Pier in Brighton.

Not "London and Brighton South Coast Railway" 11:50. "London, Brighton & South Coast Railway". The badge shown immediately afterwards shows this quite clearly

Exceptionally well researched and presented … Uniquely captivating for, railway geeks, locals, and just inquisitive people in general … Thank you for making this …

Interesting, thanks for sharing

Well done Cranners. I absolutely loved this. I've always been fascinated with the line that once was.

Great to meet you all on filming day, and good to see the results. Thank you for the lunch, too!

Bob loves a bit of irony, and it's a bit ironic that the two of you are talking about upper and lower quadrant signals (and pooh-poohing the latter) in front of a model of the GW version of such a signal. As the frame in the box isn't connected to any actual signals, this was the closest thing we could find to explain them to our visitors!

Such a professional production and a great insight into our lost railways, I used to be a BR Signalman and worked many boxes from Epsom all the way down to Pulborough, lots of memories, looking forward to the next episode 👍

I went on the last train from Partridge Green to Hove with my mum .

Well written and presented but FAR too long. Takes them 75 min to cover about two miles. Much too long for the general viewer and a bit basic for the rail enthusiast. Repetitive- we were told about five times where signal box B was- and the presenter never uses two words where twenty will do. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I wish them well with it, but some serious editing is needed.

Cranford doing a cracking job

Thank you for this day’s video. A fabulous trek into the past. I used to go the UK in the 1990’s through 2001. I suffer from ALS, which means I cannot get back the UK to re walk this trek this gentleman walked this day. Puts a smile on my face, which a rarity today. Subscription to this video, will guarantee I could view it from a IPad. Cheers to the social trekker this day! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

What a well made professionally presented historically packed episode, looking forward to the second episode. Well done to all concerned.😊

An interesting video this day. Looking forward to more! Cheers mates! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

Brilliant video. I wondered if you could come up with new stuff compared to the old video that was made about the line but you have managed it - well done. Will be watching out for the next one. Love the path by the river - we walk it often. When I was younger and fitter I did a few charity bike rides from Bramley to Shoreham so interested in the whole line. With regard to the final on lifting of the Southern section my memory (which could be wrong!) is that it was lifted twice (ie put back and lifted again) presumably because that was some sort of training exercise. Keep up the good work.

An excellent broadcast quality production. To paraphrase BBC output designed to Inform, Educate and Entertain. Does all those. Thank you.

very informative and worthy video.

Awesome video!

Wonderful! Brilliantly put together, and a joy to watch. I can't wait for the next episodes. Really well done all!!

Brilliant production! A very interesting andf informative watch. Roll on episode two!

49:08 the overside of the bridge pier was demolished in 2018 when the new housing estate was being built not the 1980’s only the top of the bridge was removed in the 1980’s It’s still there on the Google street view in 2017 and gone in 2018 when the new housing was being built.

Sorry but why not mention that the line went to Horsham with connection to London etc? Getting to Horsham and Dorking area from Brighton now is much slower. Also the Downslink is not a footpath. It is a bridleway. How many more errors are there going to be in this program?

This video just popped up and thought i would take a look, im so pleased i did as my Mum now lives in Steyning so im a frequent visitor to that area. Stephen made it so interesting pointing out objects and areas that ive passed without realising. Looking forward to the next episode and Staying.

We used to do that with coins. We'd put a small stack down somethimes and see how many coins we could embed together.

I cycle the lower portion of downslink almost everyday and I'm allways looking out for signs of the old line and stations. I'm going to really enjoy this channel.

Well presented Steve. We have both cycled the Downs Link. John and Louise.

This video leaves me flabbergasted at so many moments and I haven't even seen a full third of it! Absolutely fantastic! A feat for the eyes, ears and mind! From the footage, the immaculate timings and everything, just wow!

YOU'VE EVEN GOT A THEME SONG OMGGGG

Ah. Shoreham by Sea was my local station for around 28 years

Bravo, Well Done.

Really very good look at a ine that was, and would make a quicker diversion route if it still existed. I lived in Seaford as a teenager, and was saddened by the closure of the Lewes to Uckfield line for easy access to boating at Barcombe MIlls. Then there was the Lewes to Sheffield Park (and on to East Grinstead) line. Also the line between Lewes and Eridge via Hailsham. There were also the LInes from Brighton to Kemptown, while Newhaven to Seaford trains once stopped at Tidemills (once called Bishopstone Beach Halt?). In the First World War there was a Naval Air Station for Seaplanes at Tidemills, traces of which still survive half buried under the beach shingle. The art deco station at Bishopstone itself had a pill box built into the top of it from which machine guns could cover the entire Seaford Bay to Newhaven during World War Two. I joined British Railways in 1986 and retired from Southern in 2009 - happy days. Maybe you could sometime do a feature on the Brighton - Uckfield - Seaford - Eridge lines as they once were compared to today?

Worth the wait👍🤠👍

the tracks by red lion pub were moved when ripped up the track and relocated at the side of lever crossing toll Bridge. I remember the railway up to the works as kid .should never closed would make a good connection to hosham and london these days poor forward thinking

Wow !! where do i start : Stephens reassuring delivery, co presenters great clips,amazing production work and excellent now and then clips, As a rider of the Downs link it was great to see the route as it was, Thank you

Brilliant production. Looking forward to future installments

Well edited, researched and presented, really enjoyed this episode, can't wait for the next ones!

Many years ago I received a DVD as part of a partwork called British Steam Railways. It was an interesting DVD about the Steyning Line called The Lost Railway. However your programme goes into deeper detail about the infrastructure and is all the more educative as a result. As someone who lives hundreds of miles away (near Edinburgh) where we have a plethora of closed lines I found your programme both informative and entertaining and look forward to watching further programmes. One question though, are you concentrating on the southern area of England or featuring lines from other areas? Either way I'll look forward to more programmes. On a personal level I found it interesting as my late Father In Law was born in Shoreham and stayed in this area at the end of WW2 when his army service came to an end.

Used to love watching the man winding the wheel at Shoreham station when I was a little girl in the 1950s

I thoroughly enjoyed that! If only modern commercial television programmes were as informative. Thanks Stephen and the TTR team.

Watched twice now lol. When is episode 2 out? X

A really great start. I’m already hooked so have subscribed with notifications enabled! Thank you for doing this….John

Excellent professional quality documentary. Most enjoyable.

I lived on the Old Shoreham Road and I used to play on the single line at the section from Where the bridge was to the toll bridge. There were 3 railway cottages on thiis stretch of the line. We lived opposite the one about half way between bridge and toll bridge. happy days. Remember going to the Toll bridge crossing to get change for the electric meter,

Well this is fantastic, informative and well presented. I cannot wait for part 2. 😊

This is how a railway programme should be informative and knowledgeable. Channel 4 and 5 or one of the satellite channels should be biting your arms off.

Really well presented- thanks.
