Plumpton railway station

It is 44 miles 42 chains (71.7 km) from London Bridge via Redhill.

Plumpton lies on the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway "cut-off" line between Keymer Junction, near Wivelsfield on the Brighton Main Line, and Lewes.

The erstwhile Brighton, Lewes and Hastings Railway were authorised to build the line in 1845; the LBSCR purchased it and opened the link on 1 October 1847.

However, Lewes District Council rejected the plans to replace the gates as it would have caused "substantial harm to the significance of the signal box",[4] and there were protests from villagers.

[6] All services at Plumpton are operated by Southern using Class 377 EMUs.

A Southern Class 377 set passes through Cooksbridge bound for Eastbourne; the station's old signal box can be seen in the background.
