View from the east end of Platform 2, towards Eastbourne and Hastings, also Newhaven and Seaford. Until 24/2/69 lines branched off to the left here, curving round to the north, eventually to London via Oxted. At Culver Junction one line (closed 17/5/58) went left to East Grinstead via Horsted Keynes, Whence it has become the heritage Bluebell Railway. To the right at Culver Junction went the line via Uckfield and Erith, to Oxted and London, also to Tunbridge Wells West: this line remains in full use northward from Uckfield; it has also been restored at Isfield as the heritage Lavender Line. Restoration from Lewes to Uckfield has for long been sought.
