    A few minutes after 377315 had arrived, the signalman pulls off for the 1548 class 2 local working, 2N43, from Littlehampton formed by 377318 which was in platform 3.
    Turning round for the going away shot which includes the up starters for platforms 1 and 2. Shortly after taking this shot one of the station staff came up to ask me what I was doing as the signalman was getting twitchy about me being there.
    Another move and a friendlier station beckons, Bognor Regis. The station is a little grander than Littlehampton but more run down looking. The long platforms only see short trains most of the time. 377120 is a case in point, it forms 2P66 1650 Bognor Regis to Barnham whilst on the other side of the island platform is 377163 with 1C47 1659 to London Victoria.
