I'd love to go back to the Steyning branch before it was closed and ripped up in 1966. I thought Bramber was one of the loveliest country stations I'd ever seen. I can just remember steam on the branch up to 1963/64 then demu's during the final days. It would be the little things like buying a "real" size train ticket (for about a shilling), seeing all the stations staffed with waiting facilities and nice comfortable Bulleid rolling stock.
