    For sPo0ky M0nTh, we're walking down an abandoned railway! The legendary Hayling Island Branch, the Stroudley Terrier's last victory against the modernising British Railways. Keep an eye out for a separate video with our live commentary during the exploration.
    I've wanted to do this walk for many years, and this sesquicentenary year of the LBSCR A class was the reason to get on with it, even if we did freeze ourselves.
    0:00 - Intro
    1:23 - Why was it built?
    2:10 - Don't build railways in the sea!
    2:50 - Remains of the terminus
    3:20 - Locos used on the line
    4:00 - A very cold Halt
    4:25 - Remains of the iconic wooden viaduct
    5:15 - A law-breaking level crossing
    6:00 - Terrier vs P class
    7:00 - I will survive!
    7:47 - The NEW Hayling Island Railway
    8:10 - Where are they now...

    I actually am getting petitions to reopen this line, and people ask what is it, so this will come in handy

    "The island of Stepneys is surrounded by beautiful blue Stepneys. There are Stepneys, Stepneys, and lots of Stepneys where the Stepneys sing. There are Stepneys, and Stepney mines, and Stepneys where visitors to the Stepney arrive..."

    Stepney and Newport both worked the Hayling Island at some point too I thought. There is a photo of Stepney in Southern Railway days in this video. The only preserved terriers I would think might never have worked the line might be Waddon and Boxhill, both having been in departmental service.

    Brilliant video, interesting to hear about Hayling island and the terriers that worked there during their last days with BR. :)

    That was SO interesting!
    I know Fenchurch and Stepney from the Bluebell, and hearing about the extensive LB&SCR service of the cute little Terrier locomotives, all built at Brighton as long ago as the 1870s - and then seeing them working too - is really cool.
    And judging from the 1820s canal map at the beginning, it looks as if Hayling was intended to have a grand Georgian terrace to rival, or even eclipse, the Royal Crescent at Bath!

    In developing Awdry's map of Sodor for my personal Thomas project, I have looked to the former-Hayling Island branch for inspiration in expanding on the branch line to Kirk Ronan from Kellsthorpe Road on the east side of the map, also in turn expanding on Awdry's profile of the Sodor & Mainland Railway and what became of the line following its bankruptcy. I also looked accordingly to the impact of Colonel Holman Stephens and his light railways, which also plays majorly into the history of the LBSCR Terriers. Regards, Samuel Farris.

    It does make you happy when you hear 4 Terriers that were of importance were all preserved.
    Great Video. When do we get Guide Rails on Fenchurch, Brighton and Boxhill?

      Thank you. Guide Rail on Fenchurch should hopefully be later this year.

      We visited the GCR weren't recently for the first time, so would like to do something on the line at some point. It'll be in the usual vlogs before then though.

      I suppose in theory they could but I don't think they'd have a good time trying to sort the necessary legal stuff!

    Hey t55s did you know ballaarat made in Ballarat is a (somewhat) cousin of dolgouch without a cab in and most of its parts were made in England you should make a video about it :)

    • @Terrier55Stepney

      Anthony Dawson has done a great video on Ballarat already so I'm not likely to do one, but I would like to see it for myself!
