From my information.. 1. The Eastbourne avoiding line (Polegate to Stone Cross Junction) was closed as a through route around 1969. For some years one track was used occasionally as a siding from the Stone Cross Junction end. This was then completely abandoned in preparation to build the A22...

Thanks for issuing this photograph. It appears the conductor rail on the left hand (northbound) track finishes in line with the second wagon of the freight train thus explaining why it does not appear in the 1954 photograph of Snow Hill.

I have been unable to find any photographic evidence of any of the lines through or into Snow Hill station being electrified prior to the reopening for Thameslink services. Can you provide the photograph in question so that this forum members can discuss the location. For further information on...
