8 Car Hastings DEMU at Cooden Beach & Pevensey Bay (8/1/25)
8 Car Hastings DEMU at Cooden Beach & Pevensey Bay station (8/1/25)
Hastings Diesels Ltd owned Class 201 Thumper Unit 1001/1013 on an ambitious double test run.
The first run was in a 7 car formation which included prototype powercar S60000 “Hastings” which hasn’t been on the mainline in just under 20 years having last worked on the Mid Hants Venturer railtour in 2005.
The train ran from St Leonards Depot to Brighton and back via Haywards Heath in order to turn the train and also to provide a test for the newly overhauled motorcoach which is now sporting its Blue and Grey livery (a first for this train since preservation)
The train then emerged a second time from St Leonards Depot, this time including motorcoach S60000 “Mountfield” to form an 8 car set (another first for this train).
This provided a test for both the new formation and also Mountfield which recently had some major work done to its engine.
