This is brilliant. I searched all over the internet for Brighton Station pictures and you saved my life. I’m doing a GCSE project on Brighton Station. I thought I was going to kill myself. Thanks!

I have an old framed print (about 5″ x 4″) of this painting, along with fice others by F W Woledge. Are they rare?

A right scary story: I was a postman checking all the platforms for any bags of mail. A train was pulling into platform 5 when a guy jumped out, stumbled and disappeared under the train. I ran across and saw him holding on to the side of the platform. One leg on the platform and the other dangling a few inches from the train wheels. He was lying flat and the carriage step was just above his head. There was nothing that I could do as all the carriage doors were open and there was no way that I could get near him. When the train stopped he pulled himself up and wandered off. This was a case of jumping out when the train was going too fast.

Great picture, it looks like the same clock that is there now – is it?

Can anyone name / have photos of the old pub at the station? I think it was on the left, as you went in.
