London Road (Brighton) Railway Station is in Brighton, East Sussex, England. Train services from the station are provided by Southern, and the station is on the East Coastway Line.
History
London Road station was opened in 1877, following housing development in the surrounding area. It was originally to be called Ditchling Rise, a more accurate name as London Road is a little way away. Until the branch closed in the 1960s, trains to Kemptown diverged from the Brighton – Lewes line here.
The Lewes-side platform building was demolished in the early 1980s. The station had a substantial refurbishment at the end of 2004 with some add on parts to the original building demolished. The station has also been home to the "Brighton Model Railway Club" since 1971.
Services
The typical off-peak service is:
*4tph (trains per hour) to Brighton
*2tph to Seaford
*1tph to Hastings via Eastbourne
*1tph to Lewes – this connects at Lewes with the semi-fast service to Ashford International via Eastbourne and Hastings, and thus connects to France and Belgium
The station ticket office is open from 0645 to 1330 hours, Mondays to Saturdays. There are also self service ticket machines on each platform, accepting cash and credit/debit cards.
