Have your tickets ready for inspection and I may even stamp them!
There isn't a lot of info available on the tickets, but here is a selections through the years, from various stations. Holland Rd Halt was the first 'Hove Station', until Cliftonville came along.

Doing the series by bus:
The bus is recommended (ironic), as this isn't a circular series.
To start at CC1 get a 5 or 5A, get off in Old Shoreham Rd at the Aldrington Road stop and walk down to the station. To start at CC7 get a 5B and get off at the Dyke trail start. The Dyke bus is the 77 (catch at the hotel), which is sometimes open-top, but at certain times of the year-autumn/winter this service only runs at the weekend.
Cars:
There are various car parks and roads along the route, especially at CC7. You may want to do sections and then go back to your car, drive to another car park and do the next section.
