In this video we cover the 28 miles and 65 chains of the Marshlink Line, which is steeply graded at its ends but very flat over the majority of its length as it traverses the Romney Marsh via Rye. This line is unelectrified, and was single-tracked in 1979 between Ore and Appledore; but fortunately it has thus far escaped closure. For many years the train service was operated by Hampshire and Oxted DEMU trains closely related to our own Hastings DEMU.

Video and audio footage are from an unattended unmonitored forward-facing cab-camera in motor coach 60118 Tunbridge Wells. The railtour began at Eastbourne and ran via Rye and Dover to Faversham.

Also a thank you for the captions, many videographers leave that detail out, and overseas viewers and those not familiar with the lines traversed are left wondering.

Thanks for this. It's such a magnificent line across the Romney marsh, past quaint, picturesque Rye and the dramatic Cadborough cliffs. Reminiscent of the Scottish lowlands in its rural fog-bound beauty, this vital home counties amenity deserves much more attention than it gets.

Semaphore signalling at Hastings ❤ (something in my eye...)
Lovely. Thank you very much.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this as it brought back lots of memories of travelling this line 40 years ago between Westgate-on-sea (Margate) & Polegate (Eastbourne) - changing at Ramsgate (sometimes at Margate), then Ashford & Hastings. If timing was right we'd have the option of jumping out at Hampton Park & catching an earlier (London) train or sit on the same train & reverse back out of Eastbourne.
Or other times travelling with my Dad driving across the marshes from Folkestone to Eastbourne & if at the front of the level crossing on the A259 trying to 'race' the train between the level crossings (train won most times!)

Thanks for this video! It brought back many memories of ‘70s/‘80s holidays staying with my aunt in Three Oaks, getting the train back and forth to Hastings and heading the other way to go to Rye on Market Day.

Great video with lots of info on the way 👍 Remember these well back in the 80s when they were in the br blue & white livery

Thank you, Good photography, your use of captions to enable the viewer to identify where they on your journey. I do feel that context is important. The pointing it railway features, keeps interest a t a high level. Thank you, Patrick, Northamptonshire

Very interesting video! I enjoyed that!

Loved this video from my home town station. It's my absolute favourite. I remember when the old class 201's ran the Hastings to Charing X and Cannon Street routes before electrification and the class 421's and 423's came along. So many memories and lots of noise.

Another great video,Well done.

Loving your video productions, full of useful information as always. I always enjoy travelling along the Marshlink line, a complete contrast to hs1, just a few sleepers further on.

I’m back again. One of my favorite routes. I have learned a lot in 2 years. I hope we will have new tours in 2021.
|
Some of my first memories were looking down at the steam locomotives in Park Sidings (1:52). Years later, my first Rail Rover covered part of this line.
|
Its really cool to see my town at a different view I travel everyday.
|
Love your videos, so informative, thank you. Pity it was such a gloomy day though !

Another excellent one, with really good captions. Thanks.

When in the mid 1960s I commuted into London on the Southern, passing trains would cause a noise through the air pressure, which was no problem ... until one day the train I was on passed one of those diesel trains. The sudden noise of that engine, combined with the doppler effect, made me 'jump' ... 'Thumper' indeed ! I have seen many of your Cab Rides and I congratulate you for the attention to detail you have shown throughout.
