I've been Arund and about this area many times, or in Spanish, "Arund el area", and this is the key…read morerail station in this proverbial neck of the proverbial woods. 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.

Arundel's railway station is situated about half a mile south east of the historic town, just off…read morethe busy A27. 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.

Not to be confused with Hermann Goring By Sea, which is a town full of fascists, I suppose. Might…read morebe at home in America then? This is one of five stations in Worthing, and it's one of the tiny ones, with a the tiny little brown building on the platform with a blue overhang. It's cute and doesn't have too many people manning it day or night, and it's just a cute little place with a cute little bridge over it, and not much going on.

A small station serving the seaside town of Goring-by-Sea, between Worthing and Littlehampton on…read morethe West Coastway line. It is used by just under 0.5m passengers a year. 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.

Adjacent to the railway station at Ford, on the Brighton-Portsmouth line, is possibly the UK's best…read moremodel railway shop. Selling over 15,000 items - yes, that's fifteen thousand - it's an absolute must for any serious model railway enthusiast. As well as a wide range of well-known brands, such as Hornby, Bachmann, Graham Farish, Noch, Märklin and many more, they make their own control systems under the 'Gaugemaster' brand. Staff are (as you might guess) incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and there's a huge amount of expertise on tap. The shop itself isn't strong on displays (and the building is very unexciting from the outside), although there's enough to excite small children (of all ages) and to tempt you to open your wallet further than you had ever meant to. The website is pretty amazing too, if you can't make it to the shop. That second childhood starts here...

Went over for the first time in a few years, and found the staff very dissmissive and rude to be…read morehonest. I have been purchasing model trains now for about 15 years, and felt like they were talking down to me like a amateur just because i was asking the best brands in their experience etc It doesn't take allot of effort to smile and actually try to communicate with your customers? I don't know whether they were just having a bad day. But it has put me off going back there in the future to make further purchases.

Well, I think Ford is a rather quaint country station! It serves the small community of Ford…read morenearby, as well as the nearby Open Prison, and the village of Climping. 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

This is not a nice place! Unless you are escaping from Ford open prison. Its not a stop to use…read moreunless one has too. I had to change here for Southampton. Barnham is the next stop up or Littlehampton from the other direction. It is bleak and nothing there to entertain oneself with.

Once the staff arrived they took charge straight away and everything started going very smoothly. The team were able to realise what needed to be done and just get it done. They were organised and friendly throughout the day. By the end of the evening, they had washed and packed all of the hired Waitrose glasses which were due to be returned the following day and packed all of the other hired cutlery and crockery away into the correct boxes. This saved us a massive amount of work tidying up the next morning. Thanks to all of the staff, you were all brilliant! Matt and Sam.
