Still closed?[edit]

The article says:

The East Hill Lift is currently closed owing to a "control panel fault"[3] in June 2007.

Can anybody confirm that it is indeed still closed. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 16:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was on my ToDo list anyway, so here goes...

Most useful is this press release from Hastings Borough Council. Dated Aug 2008 it states the work being done and the hoped-for completion by Summer 2009.
An article in New Civil Engineer gives greater insight into the 2007 crash.
One of several photos on Geograph -- this is a really good one!
Hastings Borough Council Best Value Review Programme shows commitment to developing the two railways
Hastings Chronicle archive (featuring 'East Hill' refs) -- looks like there have been several crashes. This one site could keep you going for some time!
Hastings Observer appears to be the local paper. Search for "cliff lift" revealed this:

Funicular to stay closed until next summer despite costly planned refurb (7/8/08) -- a report of the council's press release

...which should keep you busy for a while. :o)

Thanks for that, and for sorting out the external links. I've added some clarification, and a cite of the Hastings Observer article. -- Starbois (talk) 10:51, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
