Newhaven Harbour railway station
Newhaven Harbour railway station is in Newhaven, East Sussex, England. It sits on the Seaford branch of the East Coastway line, about 56 miles 51 chains (91 km) from London Bridge. The line nearby narrows from two tracks to one. The station has two platforms connected by a footbridge and is managed by Southern, which runs all trains here.
Newhaven has another station nearby, Newhaven Town, less than a mile away. A third station, Newhaven Marine, used to handle passenger services and closed in 2020 after the ferry terminal moved.
History in brief: The station opened in 1847 as Newhaven Wharf, the end of a branch from Lewes, with boat trains to Dieppe starting in 1848. The line was extended to Seaford in 1864. In 1886 a new boat train terminal opened to the south and the station was renamed Newhaven Harbour.
Today: All services are operated by Southern using Class 377 electric trains. The usual off-peak service is about two trains per hour, with more trains during peak times. Some weekday services terminate at Newhaven Harbour and reverse at nearby Newhaven Marine. For longer trips, you can change at Lewes to go to Gatwick Airport or London Victoria.
