East Worthing railway station is one of five stations serving the town of Worthing in the county of West Sussex.

The unstaffed station has ticket issuing facilities through one Shere FASTticket self-service ticket machine on the eastbound platform. A Permit to travel machine is on the westbound platform.

History

Opened by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1905 as Ham Bridge Halt when the LB&SCR introduced 'motor', or 'Push-Pull' trains which served newly opened railway 'halts', as well as existing stations, between Brighton and Worthing.[3] Other halts were opened at Holland Road, Dyke Junction, Fishersgate, and Bungalow Town.[3] Built to serve the growing settlement at East Worthing, the original station name reflected the name of the road bridge at the eastern end.[4] The renaming from Ham Bridge Halt to East Worthing Halt took place in September 1949.[5] A further renaming to just East Worthing was instigated when British Rail stopped using the term 'Halt' from the timetable that commenced during May 1969.[6]
