Viewed from the widened footbridge constructed in 2010 on the site of the old goods yard. This is the second station built to serve the village, the original lay on the eastern side of the village and was used between 1848 and 1865 until it was rested to the current location in no small part due to convenience of the Pelham family who then resided in nearby Stanmer House. Traffic remained at sleepy country station pace until the 1960s when the University of Sussex and later Brighton Polytechnic built campuses nearby increasing passenger traffic greatly. The station has also served the American Express Community Stadium since 2010 and is due to have its platform lengthened to deal with the large crowds.
