Bishopstone Railway Station, located on the western side of Seaford in East Sussex, is a notable example of Art Deco architecture in railway design. The station, which opened on 26 September 1938, was designed by architect James Robb Scott, inspired by the style of Arnos Grove tube station in London. The main building features a symmetrical design with an octagonal central booking hall and extended wings that originally housed the ticket and parcels offices, as well as waiting rooms and toilets.
The station, which is a Grade II listed building, is currently managed by Southern and serves as a stop on the Seaford Branch of the East Coastway Line. All train services at Bishopstone are operated using Class 377 EMUs, with typical off-peak services including two trains per hour to Brighton via Lewes and two trains per hour to Seaford. Connections to Gatwick Airport and London Victoria are available by changing at Lewes.
The station underwent a reduction to a single track in 1975 and now uses what was formerly the up platform for all train services. A restoration project supported by the Friends of Bishopstone Station began in 2022, focusing initially on the old booking and parcel offices, now repurposed as The Old Parcel Room Community hub. Further restoration of the remaining station facilities is planned.
