Newhaven Town railway station is a key transport hub located in Newhaven, East Sussex. Managed by Southern, the station features two platforms equipped with Permit to Travel Machines. It serves as a primary station for the area, with Newhaven Harbour station catering more to the industrial and freight needs of the harbour.
The station is situated on the Seaford Branch of the East Coastway Line, approximately 90.6 km from London Bridge. It offers a typical off-peak service of two trains per hour to both Brighton via Lewes and Seaford. For broader connections, passengers can change at Lewes for services to Gatwick Airport and London Victoria.
Adjacent to the passenger terminal for the Port of Newhaven, which provides regular ferry sailings to Dieppe, France, Newhaven Town railway station is ideally positioned for foot passengers travelling to and from the continent. The station’s history dates back to its opening on 8 December 1847, and it once housed a motive power depot, which closed in 1963 and is now a private workshop.
