Initially opened as Church Street, the station was given its current name of Middle Brighton on 1 January 1867.[4]

History

Middle Brighton station opened on 21 December 1861, when the railway line from North Brighton was extended to Brighton Beach.[4]

In 1926, a crossover located between both platforms was abolished.[4] In 1942, a siding was removed.[4]

In 1963, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Church Street level crossing, located at the down end of the station.[5] The signal box that protected the level crossing was also abolished during this time.[4]

Platforms and services

Middle Brighton has two side platforms. It is serviced by Metro Trains' Sandringham line services.[6]

On weekdays, two early morning services originate from Middle Brighton. These services are formed by empty trains directly from the stabling yard at Brighton Beach.
