History
The station was opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway on 17 May 1886, and was originally named Newhaven Harbour (Boat Station). On 14 May 1984 it was renamed Newhaven Marine.[3]
The line to Newhaven Marine branches off the Seaford line at Newhaven Harbour Junction. The single platform of Newhaven Marine is numbered 3; it is long enough for 12 coaches, and lies 16 chains (320 m) to the south of Newhaven Harbour railway station. There is a run-round loop. [4]
The branch is sometimes used as a turn-around for diverted trains in the event of disruption on the Eastbourne line.
Services
As of October 2010[update], there are no advertised passenger services from the station, however one passenger train per day leaves on weekday evenings. Passengers aren't allowed on the train because of safety reasons concerning the damaged roof on the platform. Southern offer a complimentary taxi from Marine station to Harbour Station for any passengers with a Marine ticket.[2]
