    Hepham Station

    I saw this clip shared by the BFI twitter account and I cant work out where this station is - I cant even seem to find details online! It seems to be a double track line, electrified, and the trains appear to be 4EPB units. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTRFH1-_PnI Any ideas? The...
