Passenger services are operated under the brand name West Coastway Line which runs between Brighton and Southampton.

The station opened in 1846 and by the 1920s was listed in the top ten most prestigious Southern Railway stations due to royal use for Goodwood Racecourse race days.

An additional bay platform on the south side remains in situ but is disused.

Until May 2022, Great Western Railway operated limited services between Brighton, Portsmouth Harbour and Bristol Temple Meads that called at Chichester.
