East Worthing railway station is one of five stations serving the town of Worthing in the county of West Sussex. (The other stations being Worthing, West Worthing, Durrington-on-Sea and Goring-by-Sea). It is 9 miles 55 chains (15.6 km) down the line from Brighton. The station is operated by Southern, [1] who operate all of the services.
The unstaffed station has ticket issuing facilities through one Shere FASTticket self-service ticket machine on the eastbound platform. A Permit to travel machine is on the westbound platform. The station has one glass and metal shelter on each platform. In the early 1990s a small wooden ticket office building on the eastbound platform was demolished.
The platforms can only accommodate 4-coach trains. Until 2014 they were 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) wide, preventing the use of access ramps for disabled passengers; but in January of that year work began to widen them to 3.75 m (12.3 ft). [2]
East worthing has 2 platforms. Platform one, which leads towards
Brighton/
London Victoria via Hove, and platform two which leads to
Portsmouth & Southsea /
Southampton Central.
Opened by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1905 as Ham Bridge Halt when the LB&SCR introduced 'motor', or ' Push-Pull' trains which served newly opened railway ' halts', as well as existing stations, between Brighton and Worthing. [3] Other halts were opened at Holland Road, Dyke Junction, Fishersgate, and Bungalow Town. [3] Built to serve the growing settlement at East Worthing, the original station name reflected the name of the road bridge at the eastern end. [4] The renaming from Ham Bridge Halt to East Worthing Halt took place in September 1949. [5] A further renaming to just East Worthing was instigated when British Rail stopped using the term 'Halt' from the timetable that commenced during May 1969. [6]
All services at East Worthing are operated by Southern using Class 377 EMUs.
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is: [7]
