Taken from inside VER's Car 9 as it is about

halfway through its journey from Aquarium (near Brighton Pier) to Black Rock. There is a small depot and maintenance facility called, appropriately, Halfway as it is equidistance between the two stations and it is close to where this photograph was taken. The Volk's Electric Railway remains the world's oldest operational electric railway opening in 1883. It utilises a third centrally positioned electrified rail and runs on a two feet and eight-half inches (825 mm) gauge. Apart from wartime closure, it has been in operation pretty much ever since it opened carrying hundreds of thousands of visitors.
