New rolling stock and platform lighting are evident, but all major infrastructure seen in the 1989 view remains unchanged, albeit with new coats of paint.

A Hastings-bound view of the entire layout includes an escape lane on the right and the truncated remains of the ''down'' siding on the left. The tall lampposts of the platforms are replicated in the car park, on the left. © David Glasspool
