This was the location of the first station of 1855, at the terminus of the line from Three Bridges. East Grinstead has had a complicated railway history for a fairly small town. The passenger station moved to a new site on a new railway alignment in 1866 when the line was extended to Tunbridge Wells. In 1883 it moved again, with two levels, when the north-south route via Oxted to Lewes was progressively opened. Only the low level survives, with new buildings.
