Preston Park railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Preston Park railway station is in Brighton in East Sussex, England. It is on the Brighton Main Line, and train services are provided by Southern and First Capital Connect.
Note that this station does not serve Preston in Lancashire, even though, when it was opened on 1 November 1869, it was simply named Preston, serving a suburb of Brighton – which since 1879 has included the park known as Preston Park.
The station has a pair of island platforms, linked by a subway although there are only three platforms in operation. The three tracks through the station reduce to two before traversing Patcham Tunnel, almost two miles (3.2km) further north.
The typical service from the station is:
- 3 trains per hour to Brighton;
- 2 trains per hour to Bedford via Gatwick Airport and London; and
- 1 train per hour to Watford Junction via East Croydon and Clapham Junction.
