Eridge Station – 3rd May 2022
I documented the work at Eridge station in Eridge Station – 12th July 2021 and it was finished a few days ago.
Note.
- The platforms can take ten-car trains.
- The lift on the National Rail side of the station.
- The restored iron supports for the roof.
- The two waiting rooms; one by the ticket hall and the other on the platform.
- The well-appointed toilets, with quirky signs and the all important coat hook.
- There’s even an Amazon Hub.
It certainly is a quality restoration and upgrading to step-free access.
Possible Future Electrification
In Uckfield Third Rail Is NR Priority, I discussed ways that the Uckfield Branch could be electrified.
This picture shows the platforms from the Spa Heritage Railway.
Note.
- All National Rail services call in the far platform.
- The platform will take a ten-car train.
- There is plenty of space for a single extra third-rail between the tracks.
If the power were only switched on whilst trains were in the platform, surely it would be safe.
