  • Brighton railway station is the southern terminus of the Brighton Main Line, the western terminus of the East Coastway Line and the eastern terminus of the West Coastway Line in England, and the principal station serving the city of Brighton, East Sussex. It is 50 miles 49 chains (50.61 miles, 81.45 km) from London Bridge via Redhill.
    The station is managed by Govia Thameslink Railway, which operates all of the services.
    It was built by the London & Brighton Railway in 1840-41, initially only connecting Brighton to Shoreham-by-Sea, westwards along the coast, in May 1840. It finally connected a year later inland to Haywards Heath and London Bridge in September 1841 via the just-completed Clayton Tunnel; and then in 1846 to the county town of Lewes to the east via the London Road Viaduct. The railway became the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1846 following mergers with other railways with lines between Portsmouth and Hastings.
    With over 14 million passenger entries and exits in 2022/23, Brighton is the busiest station in East Sussex, the second busiest in South East England, and the seventh-busiest station in the country outside London.
    The station site was extended for the opening of the Brighton Lewes and Hastings Railway on 8 June 1846 (which had been purchased by the L&BR in 1845).
    In July 1846, the L&BR merged with other railways to form the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway.
    The site is currently the Network Rail's ECR and infrastructure maintenance depot, and Southern's Lovers Walk Depot, used for servicing most of Southern's single voltage Class 377 and formerly Class 313 fleets.
    Both Southern and Thameslink have Driver, On Board Supervisor and Conductor depots at Brighton station.

    I hope you enjoy the video if you did smash that like button and don’t forget to subscribe for more upcoming content that is featured on the channel and feel free to leave any comments or recommendations of stations that you want to me to do in the comments below as I’ll try to get back to them as soon as possible.
    I really enjoyed my experience that was spent at Brighton especially with the amount of variety I managed to see in the time I spent there for plus it was a station I’ve never visited there before but it was a great place to visit though and I’m sure it’ll be worth revisiting at some point.
    My next station will be Three Bridges which is a few stops up the line from here I’ve never been to that station before same with Brighton but I’m sure it’ll be a good location to come to so until then thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next video.
