Location notes
High Brooms is on the Hastings line between Tonbridge and Royal Tunbridge Wells.
Railway type and traffic
Electrostars and a few remaining 508 units can be seen here. There is an hourly service to Horsham and London Bridge, a half hourly service to Charring Cross and Hastings, and more frequent services to Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.
Environment
The station itself is manned on a part-time basis on Mondays-Saturdays only, but the surrounding area is generally quite quiet.
Road directions
From Tunbridge Wells, head north on Mount Pleasant Road (A26). Look out for a right hand turn, into Upper Grosvenor Road. Take this road and keep following. As you approach the gas works on your left, you reach a junction. Go straight across into North Farm Road, and you will see the station on your right.

Shots of southbound workings are best here, and a quick change of platform can be had when the sun swings round in the early afternoon.
