Disused Stations: Bexhill West Station

The ‘Hastings’ Diesel-Electric Multiple Units (DEMUs) are a unique type of narrow-bodied train which was constructed in 1957 and 1958 for the London–Hastings service via Tunbridge Wells. A pair of recently delivered Hastings DEMU stands at the Bexhill West terminus c early 1957. Some units were stabled here prior to St Leonards depot opening in May 1957.
