There is also a small car park and covered cycle racks. There is step free access to both platforms - access between them is via the level crossing (there is also a footbridge). Train services are operated by Southern, and the basic off-peak service is one train an hour on the Littlehampton to Portsmouth stopping service, although there are through trains to and from London in the peaks and weekday evenings.

It is on the 'West Coastway' line between Brighton and Chichester. The station was opened on 16 March 1846 when the London, Brighton & South Coast railway line was extended from Worthing to Ford Junction, before its extension onwards to Chichester. The present building was built in the 1860s. The station has a traditional but rather plain brick-built building with a generous awning on the eastbound platform (to Brighton/London). Facilities include a staffed ticket office, ticket machine, and a privately-run food outlet selling sandwiches, snacks, confectionery and hot and cold drinks. (NB No toilets). There's a decent sized car-park with two disabled parking bays, and cycle racks behind the building and also on the westbound platform. There's a privately run taxi-office just behind the main station building as well. There is level access to both platforms, via the road level crossing at the west end of the station. Off-peak, it's served by the half-hourly London-Littlehampton service, as well as the hourly Brighton-Portsmouth and Brighton-Southampton services. In the evenings there are also some local Littlehampton to Brighton all-stations services.

So it's a cute little station and it does a good job, but it feels pretty secluded and separated because of how wide the tracks are between the two tiny platforms.

The station was opened on 16 March 1846 when the London, Brighton & South Coast railway line was extended from Worthing to Ford Junction, before its extension onwards to Chichester and Littlehampton. The main station building looks original, although the canopy has been renewed. Facilities include a part-time ticket office, cycle storage (part sheltered), a small car park and a platform shelter on platform 2 (westbound). There are neither toilets nor a taxi rank. There is level access to both platforms, via the road level crossing at the west end of the station. Train services are operated mostly by Southern (http://www.southernrailway.com) . Off-peak, it's served by the half-hourly London-Littlehampton service, as well as the hourly services to Southampton (daytime) or Portsmouth (late afternoon/evening) and Brighton. In the evenings there are also some local Littlehampton to Brighton all-stations services.

It's situated on the Brighton-Southampton 'West Coastway' line, and is also just west of the junction for the direct line to London via Arundel. The station was opened in 1846 on the line from Brighton to Chichester, and became a junction when the line to London via Arundel opened in 1863. However, Barnham, 4 minutes to the west, functions as the real junction, as not all trains stop at Ford. It has a direct train to London once an hour on the service to/from Bognor, as well as the local stopping services on the West Coastway line from Littlehampton and Brighton to / from Portsmouth, giving five departures an hour, off-peak on weekdays. The station is generally staffed until lunchtimes only, after which you have to buy a 'permit to travel' from a machine and pay the guard on the train. Both platforms have brick buildings with old-fashioned canopies. There's no buffet, but there's a pub five minutes' walk down the road towards Climping. Both platforms have step-free access via the end gates adjacent to the level crossing. There is a small cycle rack, too. It's pleasant enough on a warm day in summer, when it feels delightfully rural, but windswept, dark winter evenings may be another matter

However, the lack of good roads to and from the village, and its proximity to London, ensures a healthy flow of commuter traffic, with Balcombe acting as a rail-head for several villages around - it is used by just over 100,000 passengers a year. It's an attractive small station, the east side nestling in a cutting, and surrounded on all sides by mature trees and shrubs, and is very popular at week-ends with walkers exploring the surrounding woodlands. The station opened on 12 July 1841 as an intermediate station on the then London and Brighton Railway, later amalgamated into the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. The 1841 census shows that there were 550 railway labourers living in the village at the time - which must have been challenging for the locals! The station has been rationalised over the years, but retains a small building on the down (Brighton) platform, complete with Victorian canopy, ticket office and toilet. The office is only open at peak times (the toilet is also closed when the office is shut). If this is the case, you need to buy a 'permit to travel' from the machine and buy a ticket on board. The up platform (for London) has a small waiting shelter with step-free access from the car park, and there are car parking spaces and a cycle rack on this side of the station. A footbridge provides access between the platforms, and also provides the exit to London Road at the top of the cutting. Note that there is no step-free access to the Brighton platform. An oddity is the extension of the Brighton platform under the small tunnel at the south of the station: this is only used to board and alight from trains, and a sign warns not to enter the tunnel when a through (ie non-stopping) train is approaching which they do, at some speed. The service is fairly sparse: off-peak, Monday to Saturday there is one train an hour in each direction, on the First Capital Connect service from Bedford to Brighton via London Bridge. On Sundays, an hourly service is provided by Southern on the Brighton to London Victoria line. Additional services stop during rush hours in both directions. To the north of the station is Balcombe tunnel, 800 yards long, and to the south the famous Ouse viaduct, the first long railway viaduct in southern Britain. At 1,475 ft (450m) long, faced with Caen stone and with four Italianate pavilions at each end, it is regarded as one of the most attractive in the UK.

The station opened in 1847 on the line from Southampton to Salisbury (via Eastleigh). In 1865 the route from Andover to Southampton via Romsey and Redbridge opened, making Romsey a junction; also known as the Sprat and Winkle Line, it closed between Andover and Romsey in 1965, but the southern section from Romsey to Redbridge (on the Southampton-Bournemouth line) remained to form the main Salisbury to Southampton line. The Eastleigh to Romsey line closed to passengers in 1967 but reopened in 2003, making Romsey a junction station once more. It is served by the Cardiff/Bristol to Portsmouth service (roughly hourly, half-hourly at peak times) and the Salisbury-Romsey-Southampton-Chandler's Ford-Romsey service, which provides an hourly service in all directions (and thus provides two trains and hour to Southampton, one direct, and one via Chandler's Ford, Eastleigh and Southampton Airport). Facilities include a ticket office (open part time), ticket machines, toilets, waiting rooms, covered bicycle storage, a small cafe (open part-time) and a small car park.

Much like a lot of the stations in Sussex, this has a brown brick building that looks like a pub or a large stately country house with two huge chimneys on it. Arundel is actually an important transport hub for this little region, with Littlehampton and other important towns being served from here. So it's definitely a nice station and has been around for a long time, first opening in 1863. It has white platforms and the old building really complements the region. It's definitely one of the better stations in the region in my opinion.

The station is staffed only part time, but has retained the traditional station buildings and attractive awnings on the London-bound (up) platform, and two substantial awnings on the down platform. There is also a splendid historic goods shed at the southern end of the London platform. The route now known as the Arun Valley Line was built in phases, with services reaching Horsham from Three Bridges in 1848. The line came as far south as Pulborough in 1859, as part of a line via Midhurst to Petworth, before the section through Arundel to the Brighton-Chichester coast line was finally completed in 1863. Services on the line are basically half-hourly in the weekday off-peak, with Arundel being served by the Bognor portion of trains otherwise going to Southampton or Portsmouth Harbour. Passengers for Brighton and other destinations can change at Ford or Barnham. The station has a taxi office and rank and a very large car-park, although other facilities (including the waiting room and access to toilets) are only available when staffed. There is a half hourly bus service from the end of the station approach to Arundel town, Brighton and Worthing operated by Stagecoach buses, although Arundel is only a 10 minute walk away. There is level access to the London bound platform only.
