I have seen somewhere that this was acquired in this colour scheme and the advertising material was added as the opportunity to earn some revenue occurred at about the same time.

This looks like an extra service. The passengers that got off wouldn't have justified an 8-coach special on their own. They went across the road and packed out an east-bound Brighton & Hove 12 bus. Brighton & Hove Albion FC weren't playing today, so it doesn't seem like a football special. I expect someone will be able to enlighten me - one of my friends accesses working timetables so he may solve the mystery. 22/9/2013 There was a fatality at Polegate yesterday, so this could have been an Eastbourne-bound train depositing passengers at the nearest point to a bus route to Eastbourne, having been diverted at Lewes.
For those unfamiliar with Newhaven's three stations - Town is on the main road, A259, and is in fact the station for the current ferry service to Dieppe. Harbour is a little used station serving relatively few houses and some businesses in a much diminished industrial area. Marine is the former ferry terminal on its own branch off the Seaford line. It hasn't formally been closed and there is theoretically a service, provided by taxis. The station is unsafe for public use, but the tracks remain and as in this case can be used as a headshunt or storage for services terminating at Newhaven Town or Harbour.

This made me think of Victorian etchings, that were often hand-coloured after printing.
I Photoshopped this one, to give a bit of definition to the masses of chalk. I put a layer with poster edging under the main picture and reduced the opacity of the main until it looked OK, to me at least.

I have a problem distinguishing between Silver-studded Blues and Chalkhill Blues, especially if they keep their wings closed like this. So this could be a Chalkhill Blue.

It appears that these old railway carriages may have been part of a scheme to rehouse service personnel returning from World War 1. There is a group on Flickr with further examples of this type of development known as 'plotlands'

Only a small portion of the water's surface can be seen. The rest is covered in this lush vegetation.
Called ' - another impression' as a successor to a previous collection of Photoshopped images of the plant life in a local pond including www.ipernity.com/doc/364457/26316169
