[1] The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) opened the station at Fishbourne on 1 April 1906.

[2][page needed] It is located on the West Coastway Line that runs between Brighton and Southampton.

The station is roughly half a mile walk from Fishbourne Roman Palace.

Just east of this station at Fishbourne Crossing the single track veered off for the branch line between Chichester and Midhurst.

On Sundays, eastbound services run to and from Brighton instead of London Victoria.
