Billingshurst Railway Station
Until 2006 both platforms were only 4 coaches long. Since then the platform for trains towards Pulborough has been extended to take 8 coaches and more recently the London-bound platform has also now been extended to 8-car length.
History
The station was built by the Mid-Sussex Railway and opened along with the line from Horsham to Petworth on 10 October 1859. From the outset, the line was worked by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, which bought it out in 1862.
