West Sussex

[Roger F]

Hi all. I have just moved to West Sussex and due to ill health have decided to return to spotting. As I am new to this area any ideas on where to go or hot spots nearby would be gratefully received. I am interested in all areas of spotting including freight. Thanks in advance. Roger F. Also if you are local to me and interested in car sharing or a spotting buddy please let me know.

Fair sized county is West Sussex. From Chichester in the south-west of the county to Gatwick in the north-east of the county.

Hi, yes should have said I'm near Littlehampton. I know of Eastleigh and Basingstoke but, wondered if anyone knew any other areas to try? Especially if there is some freight movements.

Yes sorry should have said I am near Littlehampton. I know about Eastleigh and Basingstoke but, wondered if anyone has any places closer or local where there is also a bit of freight movements.

I’m up the other end of the county in Crawley, I like my local area around Three Bridges and Gatwick as you have freight from Ardingly and at Crawley New Yard (between Three Bridges and Gatwick). Units are 377, 387 and 700, as well as 165/166 turbos at Gatwick.

Arundel walk along the river and you'll get to a crossing
The whole walk from station to the foot crossing is lovely

Hi, thanks for that info. I really will try there within the next few weeks. Thanks again. Maybe see you there sometime. Many thanks Roger F.
