Bexhill West Railway Station

Bexhill West is a closed station in Bexhill-on-Sea in East Sussex. It was the terminus of the Bexhill West branch of the Hastings Line. It was opened by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway and was operated by the Southern Region of British Railways on closing. The station building still survives as an auction room for a firm of auctioneers. The trackbed and site of the now demolished platforms are now occupied by commercial industrial buildings. HistoryA 4. 5mi branch line was ceremonially opened between Crowhurst and Bexhill on 31 May 1902 by the nominally independent Crowhurst, Sidley & Bexhill Railway Company which had been promoted by the Earl De La Warr together with other local businessmen and landowners. The line had the backing of the South Eastern Railway which ran services to the nearby and St Leonards stations. The branch would offer a quicker route to Bexhill than that already provided by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway whose own Bexhill station on the Hastings to Brighton line had opened more than fifty years earlier. The new Bexhill terminus would be from, while the LB& SCR's station was from Victoria. The branch was absorbed by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1905.
