Hassocks railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hassocks railway station serves Hassocks in West Sussex. It is on the Brighton Main Line, and train services are provided by Southern and First Capital Connect.
The station was named Hassocks Gate upon its opening on 21 September 1841 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway; for many years it was used by excursion trains for passengers visiting the nearby South Downs, and the additional width of the platforms is a result of that use. It stands almost at the summit of the Line's climb from London before traversing Clayton Tunnel, a short distance south of the station.
The typical service from the station is:
- 3tph to Brighton
- 2tph to Bedford via King's Cross Thameslink and London Bridge
- 1tph to Watford Junction via East Croydon and Clapham Junction
