Seaford Railway Station is in Seaford, East Sussex, England. It is the terminus of the Seaford Branch Line of the East Coastway Line. The station has been reduced to single track and only one platform remains in use (previously two). The remaining platform is still referred to as 'Platform 2'. Train services from the station are provided by Southern.

The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway opened Seaford station on 1 June 1864. It was designed as a through station for a proposed extension to Eastbourne that was never built.

A working model of Seaford Station as it appeared in the 1920s is displayed at Seaford Museum.

Service

As of May 2011 the typical off-peak service is two trains per hour to Brighton with direct trains to and from London Victoria at peak hours.[1]
