Crowhurst station, on the
SECR line to Hastings, looking north towards Tunbridge Wells. Junction for the
former branch to Bexhill West, which closed in June 1964, Crowhurst had a
spacious layout and featured two through roads in each direction on the main
line and two bay platforms for the Bexhill West branch. Trains arriving from
the branch would use the bay on the left of the picture and would then shunt
across the main lines to the opposite bay ready for their 4½ mile return
journey.

Today the station is a mere shadow of its former self. The through roads have been removed and all the station buildings shown in the picture have been demolished. In their place is a small brick built booking office on the up platform which opens for just 4 hours on Monday to Friday mornings. Nonetheless, for such a small rural location Crowhurst has a remarkably good train service, being served by all commuter trains to and from London and an hourly service at off peak times and weekends. |
