The first stop out of Brighton was only opened in 1869 as Preston to serve the recently constructed estates around the old village of Preston. Its current name dates from 1879 when the Cliftonville Spur was opened and the station rebuilt as two island platforms. This station building survived until the 1970s when it was pulled down and replaced by the current plain set up. Taken from the walkway that connects Woodside Avenue to the station via a subway.
