Look carefully, this is a train at the corner of the building. A bit of 'Googling' suggested (possibly tongue in cheek) that in bingo lingo ‘5 & 9’ is the Brighton line. 5+9 was the Brighton line because of some railway company back in the day using a promotional campaign about how it takes less than an hour (59minutes) to get to London from Brighton. A more plausible explanation is that the train is a tribute to the fact that the bingo club was built on what used to be the former Kemptown railway station.
