Crowhurst Station

Crowhurst station is on the Hastings line. The line was opened in 1852, but the station was not built until 1902, when a branch line to Bexhill was built just south of the station. The branch line and most of the station buildings have been dismantled. The station has an hourly service to Hastings and London Charing Cross.

Hastings Line

The Hastings Line links Hastings with Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, then onto London Charing Cross. The line was built by the South Eastern Railway (SER) and opened fully in 1853, having been constructed in phases. Tonbridge to Tunbridge Wells opened in 1846. Tunbridge Wells to Robertsbridge opened in 1851. Robertsbridge to Battle 1852 and Battle to St Leonards (Bo Peep Junction) 1853. The line was built very quickly (and not very well) and several of the tunnels need constant maintenance even today, several of them are single track.
