I love funicular railways and have even been on the world’s steepest in Tennessee.  These lovely railways connect Hastings Old Town with the top of the cliffs where you find, among other things, historic Hastings Castle.

From Old Town Hastings, you can take the West-Cliff Railway up to the top – and from there it is a relatively short walk to Hastings Castle. Also, one of my favourite places to sit and work is the cafe at the top! Magnificent views, great food, terrific service… I love it! The line was opened in 1891 and the carriages still have a Victorian feel…

I will provide more information later – here at least are the photos…

                                   

Just about every major capital city will have some form of tour bus and London is no exception.

I spent several hours sitting on top of a double-decker bus touring through London and below are the photos (I will add additional details later).
