Since last year it was a Black 5 that ran the Christmas Sussex Belle. It was good to see a change of locomotive this time as SR Merchant Navy Class 35028 Clan Line are doing the honour this year. I thought to see it pass Polegate (before getting photobombed by a 377 lol) and seeing it at Eastbourne. Took the chance to see what MK2s are used in the consist too. Hence why I filmed it at Eastbourne instead of Hastings since it would be really crowded. Anyway hope you enjoyed the video.
