Hastings DMU’s. Opportunity for viewing the DMU train in action and booking a Sussex
Tour.
Many members will have attended Jim Gibbons talk on the Preserved Hastings DMU a year ago
and there is the opportunity of seeing the train in action in Sussex and also booking a tour on the
train.
On 17th May there is a tour from Hastings to the Bluebell Railway and it is likely that the route
will be via Eastbourne, Lewes and Brighton. Discussions are also taking place for the train to
be used for Railway 200 on the Bluebell Railway during July and August. Details of the route,
timings and booking procedures will be available on
