Summary[edit]

Description
English: Tilgate Forest: London to Brighton railway (1) Looking northwards towards Three Bridges station this is the swathe cut through Tilgate Forest by the London & Brighton Railway prior to its opening in 1841. The London & Brighton Railway was quickly subsumed into the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, and eventually into the Southern Railway in 1923.

This stretch once had four working tracks with the slow lines on the left and the fast on the right (had to check "London to Brighton in 4 minutes" on YouTube to be sure of my facts there!) but the break out junction from two to four has been rebuilt further north in the distance, and the track bed of the former slow lines on the left is now occupied by an unelectrified siding. There is a 90 mph speed restriction sign in the foreground.

This view was taken from the bridge at the end of Parish Lane. For a view in the opposite direction please see 1752119.
