Seaford railway station is in Seaford, East Sussex, England. It is the terminus of the Seaford Branch Line of the East Coastway Line, {{convert|58|mi|77|chain|km}} measured from {{stn|London Bridge}}.^[1] The line to the station has been reduced to a single track and only one platform remains in use (previously two) though is still numbered "platform 2". Train services from the station are provided by Southern.

The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway opened Seaford station on 1 June 1864. It was designed as a through station for a proposed extension to {{rws|Eastbourne}} that was never built.

A working model of Seaford Station as it appeared in the 1920s is displayed at Seaford Museum.

Signal Box

At the end of the station, there was a signal box that was used up until the mid 1980s. The box was damaged by the salt air coming from the nearby sea and the box was dangerously unstable, therefore Seaford signal box was demolished in February 2002 with the remaining Platform 1. Only Platform 2 remains in operation now. Platform 1 is still visible but the tracks were removed in 1975.^[2]

Service

{{As of|May 2011}} the typical off-peak service is two trains per hour to {{rws|Brighton}} with direct trains to and from {{rws|London Victoria}} at peak hours.^[3]
