George BradshawApril 13, 2013The panoramic view that first bursts upon the eye is so striking of itself, that it may be worth while glancing at it in detail, for the benefit of the visitor’s future peregrinations. Read more
British Transport PoliceAugust 30, 2013Welcome to Brighton! If you’ve taken your belongings with you for a trip to the seaside, keep a sharp eye out when you’re on your train or at the station – join in with #TheTactics on Twitter Read more
Dean WilsonAugust 22, 2012If you are looking to travel in to or out off Brighton, on a train, this place is for you. There is ample car parking, a taxi rank, and bike racks all of which really help to augment the experience.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
11 minute walk to the beach from here. Come out of the stations main entrance and follow the road downhill to the end, where you'll find sand, sea and possibly some sun too
Jemima GibbonsMarch 7, 2014Loving the retro-style waiting room with wifi, heating and books to read. They even have sockets to charge your phone :)
Katerina KekakiOctober 1, 2014A lot of coffee shops for take away coffees and snacks, corner shop, m&s, nice clean toilets with 20p charge, and taxis right next to the exit of the station.
The Oat Hut outside is great for porridge on those early cold mornings
Kirill RomanovJuly 5, 2019Very nice station, there is a piano and different people play chilling music, love it!
Dan HinchliffeOctober 12, 2011Pop into the pub 'the junction' just outside, the do an awesome burger & 20% off if you show a valid train ticket!
When bus replacement is running ALWAYS take a coach rather than a bus to Three Bridges if available. You'll see how fast and smooth a coach is compared to a bus 😉
Wonderful station with lovely Victorian features.Catch trains here to London,Gatwick Airport and south coast.
zerogmediaAugust 24, 2011Queues to the help desks are always massive – use one of the touch screen machines to buy your tickets. Better still order online beforehand and then you only need to collect them using the machine.
Moksha Coffee Kart[sic] started operating at the entrance from the car park this week (6/1/11). Much the best coffee on the station. (Mornings only AFAIK)
Coffee from the Caffetissimo lady by the side entrance of station is best coffee & best value.
Bagelman is THE place to go if you're looking for a prejourney snack
From the station, bus 23 takes you to Falmer/ universities(Brighton & Sussex), bus 48 to moulsecoomb, bus 7 to the marina, bus 6 & 50 to hollingbury.
There's a hidden change machine in the men's toilets on your left as you enter
Get your coffee from the lovely people at Small Batch Coffee outside the front of the station.
Fadi ShumanMarch 20, 2011If travelling on the weekend, get to the station early as the schedule is never the same as what's printed or what's on National Rail Enquiries! Crazy fools.
Jonathan MarkwellJune 8, 2012Commuting sucks. Coworking at The Skiff doesn't. Join a community of freelance and mobile workers that use deskspace and meeting rooms less than five minutes away in North Laine:
Cristal RibeiroSeptember 3, 2016Not a very organized station, pay much attention not to miss your train. Good snack options.
Bottles of water are cheapest at M&S. 50p for a 2-litre bottle!
DavidAugust 28, 2013Put the orange ticket in the pretty machine and it'll let you out. No need to stand there looking like a retard. Magic stuff!
Have a look at the plaque at the rear of M&S which shows all the architectural features of the London to Brighton Railway.
You could miss the train to Seaford when you get off the one from London. You need to hurry up.
Grab delicious cuppa from the Flying Coffee Bean in the middle of the concourse.- Ticket office always busy, good to use the ticket machine.
- Ruairi DorrityNovember 24, 2012Regular trains to Falmer on match day but be prepared for some standing and waiting, before and during!
- Best coffee is from small batch coffee company. Van outside the front of the station
Make sure you get your coffee from Small Batch early. They close just after 9 am.
The coffee next to the car park entrance is cheaper and just as good
Small Batch coffee outside the station is bloody delicious
Best connecting hub to London with frequent trains
Coffee stand in the middle of the concourse will give you double the sugar you asked for (:
Use the car park at weekends it's cheaper and there's never a queue like on the seafront
It is NOT fun trying to get out of this station when it's busy 😫
Best coffee on the run is from 9 Bar mobile van on the forecourt from early till noon Monday - Saturday.
Please be advised that the platform a train departs from is sometimes not indicated until 90 seconds before departure.
Russell MacdonaldApril 7, 2012So 4 adults and 2 kids cost us £11 return from Lancing. Cheaper than parking in Brighton :)
- Southern Trains are really good trains. Better than First Capital Connect.
Don't expect your ticket to work first time, think there are still kinks in the new barrier system. Missed my train because I had to wait to see a guard...
