It was part of the East Grinstead to Lewes line, more popularly known as the Bluebell Railway. FacilitiesThe station was located on the single line, but consisted of two side platforms on a loop line. There were substantial station buildings on each platform with a pedestrian footbridge connecting the two. The old Up platform had a restaurant facility and toilets until rationalisation in the 1930s which removed all the buildings on this platform and the footbridge span. ClosureFollowing the withdrawal of the services on the line in 1955, a Chailey resident, Margery Bessemer, forced its re-opening in 1956 for a short period when she discovered that the original Acts of Parliament which authorised the line's construction imposed a statutory obligation on British Railways to continue running services. British Railways responded by running the most meagre timetable possible, the so-called "Sulky Service". Parliament did eventually repeal the original Acts and the line closed in 1958.[1] The track was removed in 1960 and the station buildings were demolished around 1967/8. The site of the station platforms in a cutting was subsequently infilled and covered by housing. Their site is identified in a road still today called Lower Station Road, North Chailey. Despite the reopening of part of the line by the Bluebell Railway, an extension south now seems improbable, although the possibility has not been ruled out.[2] {{Disused Rail Start}}{{Rail line|previous={{rws|Sheffield Park}}Line closed, station open |next={{rws|Barcombe}} Line and station closed |route=London, Brighton and South Coast Railway Lewes and East Grinstead Railway |col={{LBSCR colour}} }}{{rail end}} References1. ^The Argus, 10 September 2007 {{commons category inline|Newick and Chailey railway station}}{{coord|50.9720|-0.0063|type:railwaystation_region:GB_source:enwiki-osgb36(TQ400210)|display=title}}{{Closed stations East Sussex |state=collapsed}}{{SouthEastEngland-railstation-stub}}2. ^Extending the Bluebell Railway 10 : Lewes District|Disused railway stations in East Sussex|Former London, Brighton and South Coast Railway stations|Railway stations opened in 1882|Railway stations closed in 1955|Railway stations opened in 1956|Railway stations closed in 1958|Thomas Myres buildings|1882 establishments in England|1958 disestablishments in England |
