I thought I had a closer view of this former light house, but I can't find it. It was replaced by the Beachy Head lighthouse, which is at sea-level, when it became obvious that the cliff top position meant it was often in cloud or fog, when the weather was bad. It has been moved back from the cliff edge at least once. It is much closer to the edge than it seems in this view. The cliffs curve round to the left out of view. It is now a boutique guest house.
The 313 class are electric multiple units (emus) that used to be used on inner London suburban routes. When no longer needed there, they were transferred to the south coast, where they run between Brighton and Seaford to the east and Brighton and Portsmouth to the west. The latter is quite a long journey for a train with no toilets!
Suggesting that the passing cloud gives the impression that the electric train was making smoke or steam, is just one of my whimsical moments!
