Newhaven Town railway station is one of two stations serving Newhaven, East Sussex, England, the other being Newhaven Harbour. A third station, Newhaven Marine, is notionally open, but has not had a train service since 2006.
The station has two platforms, both with Permit to Travel Machines and trains are operated by Southern. It is on the Seaford Branch of the East Coastway Line, 56 miles 25 chains (90.6 km) measured from London Bridge.[1]
The station is adjacent to the passenger terminal for the Port of Newhaven which has regular ferry sailings to Dieppe in France. Foot passengers should alight here and not at Newhaven Harbour railway station, which is for the harbour industrial estate and freight terminal.
