Hythe Pier - Hampshire.

Not a station, but the pier is only 640 metres long, and I thought I'd show the train in all its glory. Driven by two 'Brush' manufactured locomotives which date from 1917. Originally used in a mustard gas factory in WW1, the locos were transferred here after the war ended and converted from battery power, to 'third rail'.
