Summary edit

Description
English: East Cliff Railway The line was opened in 1903 by Hastings Borough Council. The line was originally operated on the water balance principle, and the twin towers of the upper station contained water tanks for this purpose. The line was modernised between 1973 and 1976, during which time it was converted to electric operation and new cars were provided.

The line was shut in June 2007 & reopened in March 2010

The East Hill Cliff Railway is the steepest funicular railway in the United Kingdom.
