As you are a stranger to the town I suggest you use Hastings station rather than St. Leonards Warrior Square, to give it its proper name used on timetable websites. (In passing: every single train here calls at both stations, and fares are often the same)Jonathan Bryant wrote:Thanks for the tips guys.
I might investigate Warrior Square as an option. Failing that at least it will be downhill on the way home
Even if Warrior Square is a touch closer it's not by much, and navigation on foot is easier from Hastings - up the main road out of the centre rather than criss-crossing back streets. And there's uphill whichever way you do it.
There are buses from Hastings station forecourt. Admittedly it's an infrequent service on that road but you might get lucky, and I don't know offhand of any direct buses from Warrior Square station, and the bus stop there is a good 150 yds away on an entirely separate road. Stagecoach website for details.
There is a taxi rank at Hastings station. At Warrior Square you need to hunt out the minicab office in the corner of the station forecourt (south side of station).
(Tip: loads more taxis in Hastings if you leave the station approach road and at the traffic lights go ahead downhill to the rank on Havelock Rd - 200 yds)
(Tip: this is the taxi firm at Warrior Square station if you are running late and need to ring ahead:

I doubt the fare is more than a fiver but I'm not a regular taxi user here.

Merry Christmas!
