Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox rail line Cliftonville Curve is a short railway that links the West Coastway Line to the Brighton Main Line between Hove and Preston Park.[1] It was opened in July 1879.[1][2] The curve includes a Шаблон:Convert tunnel.[2]

The line, which is also known as the Cliftonville Spur,[3] was named in reference to Cliftonville station (now called Шаблон:Stnlnk) which had opened in 1865.[4] Cliftonville was an area of Hove which was developed speculatively as a "fashionable neighbourhood" in the mid-19th century.[5] Construction of the curve allowed trains to travel between the Brighton Main Line and the West Coastway Line without having to reverse at Шаблон:Stnlnk,[3] reducing congestion there and shortening journeys.[2]
