Ardlingly is a closed railway station in West Sussex. It was opened 1 October 1864 by LBSCR . It was electrified in the 1930s, but due to low traffic levels and the rise of the car, the line was closed on 28 October 1963 .

History

Opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, it became part of the Southern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing on to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed to passengers by the British Railways Board.

The goods yard and connection to the main line remained open as an ARC Aggregates terminal . The nearby Bluebell Railway owns the spur to the old station and has long term aspirations to re-open the line .
