Three Stations Named Newhaven

I’m not 100% sure that this is one I would actually do as a trip. It’s a nice plan though.

Yes there are three:
Newhaven Town
Newhaven Harbour
And Newhaven.
I bet you thought I'd say Newhaven Marine. Sadly there is no longer a station there anymore. There is a bit of barren bit of platform there and no services, so you have to count Marine out.

Any trip for me starts in the Croydon area. So for the preliminary part of the trip these are the times:

Station	2Jxx
Selhurst	06:40
East Croydon	06:44
Station	1Xxx
East Croydon	07:04
Lewes	07:54
Station	1Xxx
Lewes	08:00
Newhaven Harbour	08:13

The main reason for not starting the trip in Newhaven is the cost. If I'm travelling from the Sussex Newhaven initially then I'd have to pay out for a hotel room for the night. That's about £45-70 a night depending on the date of the trip and it is more than likely that I would probably have to spend the night near the destination.

Now the Newhavens Trip can begin.

Station	2Xxx
Newhaven Harbour	08:59
Brighton	09:29
Station	1Xxx
Brighton	09:44
St Pancras International	11:00
Now comes the long stretch of trip
Station	1Xxx
Kings Cross	11:30
Edinburgh	16:16

Once out of Waverley station I would make my way to either Princes Street or more likely St Andrews Square (for Waverley) tram stop and catch the first available tram to the new extended line out to Newhaven. It should be about 20 minutes journey to complete the Three Newhaven's Trip.

So what do you think ?

A Few Stats:
Number of Moves: 7
Possible Haulage: 377s, 700, 80x, Tram
