The Junction pub is opposite the old railway station in Polegate. The station, however, closed in 1986, being replaced by a new station about 300 metres further west. Polegate was once at the junction of four railway lines, from Lewes, Eridge, Eastbourne and Hastings. The line to Eridge and the direct line towards Hastings have been closed for many years, so Polegate is no longer a railway junction. Trains still run from here to Hastings, but they now go via Eastbourne.
