Trains to Burgess Hill - Station Details and further Information on Burgess Hill Train Services
Burgess Hill train station serves Burgess Hill in West Sussex. Located on the Brighton Main Line 15 km (9¼ miles) north of Brighton train station, train services are provided by Southern and First Capital Connect. Northern Burgess Hill is served by Wivelsfield train station.
The present station building dates from 1877 and contains a ticket office and a small newsagent situated on a road bridge over the line. There is a covered footbridge leading to canopied platforms. The main car park has direct level access to the London-bound platform, on which there is also a small cafe. Car parking facilities are also available for the southbound platform, although to a lesser extent.
The first station at Burgess Hill was opened on 21 September 1841 by the London and Brighton Railway (which later became the London Brighton and South Coast Railway), at the time of the completion of the route to Brighton. The original facilities were primitive and consisted of the small wooden hut (which still stands on platform 1) and wooden platforms set beside the main line. A track plan of the station dating from 1874 shows that by then several sidings and a signal box has been constructed at the station. |
