Hampden Park railway station serves Hampden Park in the northern areas of the seaside town of Eastbourne in East Sussex.
It is on the East Coastway Line, and train services are provided by Southern.
[2] There was a rarely used triangular junction between Polegate and the now-closed Stone Cross which allowed trains to bypass the Branch; the track has now been lifted.
Because of this arrangement, some connections are advertised to allow passengers on the Victoria-Eastbourne service to use Hampden Park to pick up the stopping service to Hastings and vice versa.
[3] The level crossing at Hampden Park is thought to be one of the busiest in the country,[4] with an average of sixteen train movements an hour off-peak, and this can lead to significant traffic congestion on adjacent roads.
