Brooklands Miniature Railway Removal Worthing 2018
A short video taken between Monday 8th October 2018 and Monday 29th October 2018, showing stages of the removal of track at the Brooklands Miniature Railway at Brooklands Pleasure Park in Worthing, West Sussex. The miniature railway closed on Sunday 9th September 2018, with two “final” runs made on Sunday 23rd September for staff, family, friends and the local press. This video also shows the un named loco (once in a different guise as “Diddly Dee”) with the fibreglass sided set of three carriages being used on the demolition train. Staff can also be seen removing the track, which started on the bridge on Monday 8th October, finishing at the station on Monday 29th October 2018. The track, the un named loco and wooden sided three carriage set have been purchased and are now awaiting collection. Locomotive “Diddly Dum” and the fibreglass sided three carriage set will be put into storage until a buyer is found. The miniature railway first opened in Easter 1965 as a 9 1/2 inch gauge end to end line but in 1967 was replaced with a 10 1/4 inch gauge railway and laid around the lake with a bridge over the Teville Stream. The miniature railway in it’s entirety was put up for sale on eBay for £20,000 which included just under a mile of track, two locomotives and six carriages (two sets of three) but was later split into two listings. The Worthing Herald reported the final runs: “The miniature train at Brooklands Park completed its final journey on Sunday (September 23) as it prepares to make way for a new era. The train’s owner, Kevin McCluskey, cancelled his lease for the operation of attractions at Brooklands earlier this month after 11 years and, after the council opted not to keep the train, is looking to sell the family favourite. Stuart Coles, who has been friends with Kevin for 11 years and driven the train at the weekends for five, was at the wheel for its farewell. “There were a few tears from staff. Lynne, Kevin’s partner, and I were given the privilege to drive the last train rides ever,” he said. “I’m going to be a little lost at weekends now, because Brooklands has been like a second home to me for the last 11 years. “We had lots of good, fun times which I will treasure forever. It’s the end of an era.” Stuart said about 45 people turned up for the goodbye, meaning he had to do two trips.” The council announced a ‘masterplan’ for the park at a public meeting on Thursday 11th October 2018 at Worthing Town Hall.

Worthing is a large seaside town in England, with borough status in West Sussex. Worthing is situated at the foot of the South Downs, 10 miles west of Brighton, and 18 miles east of the county town of Chichester. Modern Worthing has a large service industry, particularly in financial services. It has three theatres and one of Britain's oldest cinemas. Writers Oscar Wilde and Harold Pinter lived and worked in the town.
The area around Worthing has been populated for at least 6,000 years and contains Britain's greatest concentration of Stone Age flint mines, which are some of the earliest mines in Europe. Lying within the borough, the Iron Age hill fort of Cissbury Ring is one of Britain's largest. Worthing means (place of) Worth/Worō's people, from the Old English personal name Worth/Worō (the name means valiant one, one who is noble), and -ingas people of (reduced to -ing in the modern name). For many centuries Worthing was a small mackerel fishing hamlet until in the late 18th century it developed into an elegant Georgian seaside resort and attracted the well-known and wealthy of the day. In the 19th and 20th centuries the area was one of Britain's chief market gardening centres.
Worthing is situated on the West Sussex coast in South East England, 49 miles (79 km) south of London and 10 miles (16 km) west of Brighton and Hove. It forms part of the Brighton/Worthing/Littlehampton conurbation along with neighbouring towns and villages in the county such as Littlehampton, Findon, Sompting, Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Southwick.
A turnpike was opened in 1803 to connect Worthing with London, and similar toll roads were built later in the 19th century to connect nearby villages. Stagecoach traffic grew rapidly until 1845, when the opening of a railway line from Brighton brought about an immediate decline. The former turnpike is now the A24, a primary route which runs northwards to London via Horsham. Two east–west routes run through the borough: the A27 trunk road runs to Brighton, Chichester and Portsmouth, and the A259 follows a coastal route between Hampshire and Kent. Shoreham Airport is about 5 miles (8 km) east of Worthing. The nearest international airport is London Gatwick, about 28 miles (45 km) to the northeast.

Lancing - A lifestyle on the coast
Lancing in West Sussex offers a fun, coastal lifestyle. With property prices in Shoreham by Sea and Brighton rising fast - Lancing is fast becoming a more affordable coastal option for many - and the newly developed 'Sunbeam' apartments are going to become a new home for 32 families.
Sunbeam apartments are perfectly positioned for a carefree and easy lifestyle. Situated mere minutes from a local convenience store, a relaxed beachfront cafe, a gymnasium with direct sea views and a large seafront park, the benefits to residing in this location are obvious. From a morning stroll along the promenade, to lazy days on the sandy beaches, to popping out for a pint of milk, everything is right on the doorstep.
Travelling around the area couldn’t be simpler. Heading north from the property lies Lancing Station, with its direct links to nearby Worthing, the cities of Brighton and Chichester, and Gatwick Airport and London beyond. Car journeys are equally as effortless, with all destinations easily reached via the main coastal thoroughfare, the A27, which passes through the town.
Crossing the A27 into North Lancing supplies even more local interests, including a recently refurbished Miller & Carter Steakhouse, Lancing Manor Leisure Centre and well-known Lancing College, with its imposing hillside chapel. At its furthest edge, Lancing merges with the broad hills of the South Downs national park, creating a natural barrier to the coast and thus providing an unusually warm climate.
Picturesque villages and country pubs are scattered around, including Sompting, with its church dating from the 10th Century, Bramber with its ruined medieval castle and Findon with annual Sheep Fair and Festival. Lancing itself boasts a large array of pubs, shops and conveniences, including an Asda supermarket next to the station, a large Post Office, Barclays Bank, Boots and WHSmith, while further out of town the Holmbush Retail Park provides such brands as Tesco Extra, Marks & Spencer, Next and Starbucks.
The neighbouring towns of Worthing and Shoreham-By-Sea also have excellent shopping facilities, regular markets and many cultural opportunities, including the Ropetackle Arts Centre in Shoreham and the Connaught Theatre and Dome Cinema in Worthing. Also only a short distance from Sunbeam lies Brooklands Pleasure Park which has fantastic entertainment for small children including a miniature railway, boating lake and go-karting circuit.
