Crowborough railway station serves Crowborough in East Sussex, England. Train services from the station are provided by Southern, and the station is on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted Line.

History

The station was opened by the Brighton, Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells Railway on 3 August 1868 and was originally named Rotherfield. It was renamed several times: to Crowborough on 1 August 1880; to Crowborough and Jarvis Brook on 1 May 1897; before resuming the name Crowborough on 12 May 1980.

The station was also used to transport goods from the nearby brickyard and the old platform still remains, although not used anymore. The old track still exists around the goods yard, however, like the platform, these are overgrown and unused.

The typical off-peak service is one train per hour to London Bridge via Oxted and one train per hour to Uckfield.
