      The signal that is white with the black line is for the first set of points that we waited at. The red signal is at the bridge coming into the station. If you look as we approach, we have a green signal. Sorry, the video isn't very clear, but we do have a clear signal.

      I think the problem with the whole disused rail system is that they keep building on it. They don't think to leave the track beds there for future rail as it gets demanded. I do believe the cuckoo line should have been let. Heathfield and Hailsham are now too big not to have their railway.

    Largest UK spider, is the Raft Spider. But they are SO rare now, almost extinct. Theres a population that conservationists maintain in a pond down south, checked regularly, so they are still here. But I haven't seen one in the wild for over two decades. Used to find one every time my Dad and I took the dogs out near Spurn Point, many years ago. Sadly, not anymore. But yes, the Cardinal has the largest legspan, in excess of 13cm. But the Raft Spider has a larger body, far more dense (if shorter) legs, and they weigh more. They eat small fish and water bugs etc.

      In reality, individuals are variable and most cardinal spiders aren't as big as the biggest ones recorded. A big giant house spider could be larger than an average cardinal spider. A big domestic house spider can be as big or slightly bigger than a small giant house, leading to a lot of confusion. The only way to know which one a large aglenid you find is to look at it up close for a few minutes. Furthermore there are more aglenids in the UK than domestic house, giant house and cardinal spiders, and large specimens of these less well-known aglenids can look quite similar to all of the above and throw you off.
