[2] It had been provided by the Rother Valley Railway following a request in December 1902 by the vicar of Salehurst, the Reverend Edward Sing, for trains to stop in bad weather on Wednesdays and Sundays so that his organist, Miss Elsam, could arrive at the church in time for services.

[3] The organist lived close to Bodiam station and usually reached the church by car, although her journey became difficult during bad weather when the roads were slippery.

[6][7] A simple earth and gravel platform held in by a wooden retaining face was duly provided and Colonel Stephens informed the Board of Trade of its existence in July 1903.

[16] The halt remained nevertheless open, much in its original state of construction, until the last passenger service ran on Saturday 2 January 1954[5][17][18] Soon after public closure, the platform was removed by British Railways.

[19] The final passenger train to traverse the section of the line through Salehurst was a Locomotive Club of Great Britain special hauled by LB&SCR A1 class Nos.
