25th July 1989

The Tuesday-only 7B14 13.15 Heathfield to Britton Ferry Gulf oil tanks trundle along the sea wall, viewed from Langstone Rock. BR blue Class 47 no. 47369 is in charge of the train this week. This service did not last for long after I took these images. The Heathfield branch has opened and closed a number of times over the past years, latterly for timber traffic, but the oil terminal has long gone.
