  • A Good trip to hastings located on the East Coastway, Hastings line and the Marshlink Line
    The station was first proposed by the South Eastern Railway (SER) on 9 October 1835, as the terminus for a railway from Tunbridge Wells via Rye. These plans began to take fruition during 1843, as the SER planned the most practical route to the town through what would be difficult terrain. In the meantime, the Parliamentary Select Committee had supported a scheme by the Brighton, Lewes & Hastings Railway (BLHR), which would connect the town to the London and Brighton Railway (LBR). The BLHR were awarded the act of parliament to build the railway to Hastings, with an additional option to extend the line through Rye to Ashford. The SER were not happy about a rival company building routes in their area, and in late 1845 researched the feasibility of a route via Tunbridge Wells.
    The whole station was reconstructed in a neo-Georgian style in 1931 by the architect James Robb Scott and only the goods shed remained unchanged. All trains now ran through the two new island platforms, which provided better flexibility.
    Services at the station are operated by either Southeastern Trains via the Hastings Line or by Southern Trains via the East Coastway Line and the Marshlink Line. Southeastern services use Class 375 electric multiple units. Southern services use Class 377 electric multiple units and Class 171 diesel multiple units.
    The typical off-peak service from the station is:
    Southern
    1tph to London Victoria via the East Coastway Line (semi-fast)
    2tph to Brighton via the East Coastway Line (both semi-fast)
    1tph to Eastbourne (stopping)
    1tph to Ashford International via the Marshlink Line (semi-fast)
    2tph to Ore (direct)
    Southeastern
    2tph to London Charing Cross via the Hastings Line (1 semi-fast, 1 stopping)
    There are also peak hour services from Ore to Cannon Street operated by Southeastern
