In 1949 Bopeep Tunnel at St Leonards had to be closed for extensive repairs. The work lasted from 27 November 1949 until 4 June 1950 which necessitated all main line trains from London to Hastings terminating at Bexhill West. The 4.20 pm service from Charing Cross is seen arriving at platform 2 at Bexhill West on 12 May 1950.
