Seaford railway station (England)

1

Seaford railway station is in Seaford, East Sussex, England. It is the terminus of the Seaford branch line of the East Coastway line, 58 mi measured from London Bridge. The line to the station has been reduced to a single track and only one platform remains in use (previously two), though it is still numbered platform 2. Platform 1 is still visible but the track has been removed. Train services from the station are provided by Southern. The London, Brighton & South Coast Railway opened Seaford station on 1 June 1864. It was designed as a through station for a proposed extension to Eastbourne that was never built. A working model of Seaford Station as it appeared in the 1920s is displayed at Seaford Museum.

Signal box

At the end of the station, there was a signal box that was used up until the mid-1980s. The box was damaged by the salt air coming from the nearby sea and the box was dangerously unstable, therefore Seaford signal box was demolished in February 2002.

Services

the typical off-peak service pattern is two trains per hour to Brighton via Lewes, seven days a week. Services are operated by Class 377s.
