- A small documentary on the now disused Steyning Line in West Sussex, giving lots and lots of information and seeing all the sights there is to see on the abandoned railway, which now forms half of the Downslink cycleway. Hope you enjoy!

I used to live in Worthing until 1973, when I finished university. Many times travelled over the old toll bridge by car - single track with passing places, horrendous queues at busy times! It was the main A27, but you would normally use the new Norfolk Bridge on the A259 if you wanted to keep moving. Fun though! There's also the old remains of a leper hospital south of Bramber, if I remember correctly. Used to see the cement works at full chat too, that chimney belching smoke. It was still in operation in 1973! Vaguely remember steam trains chugging along too, but I would have been fairly young. Finally, one correction. at 25.04, you say WEST coast mainline. Possibly SOUTH coast mainline!
Great memories 🤩🤩 Should've said West Coastway Line 😃
I remember my father taken my brothers and i on this line starting at Holmwood to Brighton in the sixties. The engine from Horsham was a 462 tank loco.
Fantastic! :)
🤩wow what a lovely country side I just saw
Looks interesting already
😅 this was so good very interesting and very informative thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I did this on my bike all the way from Guildford - a great ride
It sure is! 40 or so miles
@@TheBritishAce 44 miles to the 360 in brighton
As a former Steyning resident I thoroughly enjoyed this although it was a shame the “Old footage” was no longer visible on the video.
Yeah, would have been nice to include but avoids any copyright issues :)
Really good vid of this ex line Joe .
Looks a really good route to walk along , great country side .
It sure is!
Sadly missed the original steps down to Henfield station, the only bit left.
Brilliant!
25:44 The old bridge that was replaced wasn't a wooden bridge it was a concrete one that was probably built in the late 1960's early 1970's.
Love it, well done Joe 😊
Thanks so much!
The line could have been a Rail with Trail if reopened Had it been electrified in the 1930s it would resemble something like the nearby Arun Valley Line and used as a Diversion by West Coastway Portsmouth littlehampton & Bognor Regis to London Victoria via Brighton main line
Good video and great school project! I must have cycled this 100 times! Shame about the old footage copyright issues. A few things. You didn’t mention the famous double bridge over the Arun - brick arch and the later steel girder above, build when the gradient had to change, and from where the Downslink logo is derived. At Henfield the only remaining evidence of the station are the steps and the electricity substation which still has the plaque “Henfield Station”. Henfield museum has a good model of the station. If you get hold of the film “Rotten to the Core” it was filmed at Christs Hospital and Baynards station. You also missed the goods shed at CH which is now converted to houses. At the Beeding cement works you can still see the embankment on the other side of the river where the bridge was build. Good work!
Cheers :) I believe the double bridge is on the Cranleigh Line at Rudgwick - yeah the old footage would have been nice to keep, but didn't want to take any risks lol - UA-cam is very strict
The old cement works buildings have, over the years, been used by various film and television production companies when they needed spooky, foreboding, and atmospheric interior locations!
Who chose the music. It was perfect. Do some more when you get the chance
Me lol :)
