History
The station was opened 27 June 1846[1] by the Brighton, Lewes and Hastings Railway when that railway opened its line from Lewes to Bulverhithe, originally as a single line.[2] The line was doubled during early 1847.[3]
Current status
The station is unstaffed and a PERTIS Permit to travel machine was installed in 2008, in connection with a Penalty Fares Scheme. This has since been replaced by a Shere self-service ticket machine.
The station is located near to the Glyndebourne Opera House, although better connections to the opera house are available from Lewes, from which shuttle buses run.
The former Station building is occupied by Airworks paragliding school.
