[edit] History
The single track branch line of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway between Three Bridges and Horsham was opened 14 February 1848.[2] Crawley and Faygate were intermediate stations each with two platforms to enable trains to pass. The line was doubled throughout during 1862 to coincide with the extension of the railway from Horsham to the Arun Valley.
[edit] Services
The station is unstaffed, and is served mostly in the peak hours on weekdays. There are no trains on Saturdays or Sundays.
