Hadlow Road station Stop a moment and imagine..... It is 1952 The train will soon be in - You hear its whistle, faint on the wind. Behind you, business men and shoppers, on their way to the city move aside for a porter pulling a trolley load of mail and country produce. From inside comes the sound of jingling coins and the thud of the date stamp as the clerk issues tickets. A late comer pushes onto the platform and the train steams in. Today the station, restored and refurnished is much as it was on that day in 1952. Only travellers and staff are missing.
