What s your favourite Brighton & Hove Station?

[Badger]

Aldrington or Aldrington Halt as it used to be called was where the branch line to Devils Dyke met the coast railway line. When the Dyke railway line closed the station remained.

Very handy for me as I live near Aldrington though!

Ah so you're the person that uses that station, I knew you were hiding somewhere!

I often get one of the last trains back from Chichester and I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone get on or off at Aldrington, annoys me every time.

My favourite has to be Brighton itself, it is a pretty impressive old building

Timbuctoo is in Mali.
Is that part of Brighton or Hove?

 

[KneeOn]

Aldrington, some how, despite being able to see Hove from teh platform and would have been able to see Portslade were it not for teh bushes and curve of the track, yet still remains, oh and i live like next to it so its fantastic for getting to Withers adn then to Falmer!

 

[Nottseagull]

But is Portslade in Brighton? ? ?

Don't need the library, I remember from when I lived in Sussex in the 70s. The northbound carriageway of Boundary Road, Portslade was in West Sussex and I presume the southbound carriageway is now in Brighton & Hove.

Holland Road Halt - sadly lamented - halfway between Brighton and Hove.

Used to have a lovely wooden platform.

You mean Station Road, but it's not, it's East Sussex

I caught a train from Aldrington to London Victoria the other day (changed at Hove) & bought my ticket at Victoria. The ticket collector said that in an average week about 2 people buy a return ticket to Aldrington from him!

So who is the other one?

I would have to say my favourite train station in Brighton & Hove is, erm, Brighton.

What a random thread!

Most people would have bought one from the conductor, or used Hove ticket office or would have a season ticket.

Aldrington,saved me £££ many times when younger,getting off there and walking the rest,never anyone there for tickets.

as if by magic the shopkeeper appears.

Who's that then?

Anyhoo, London Road is also my favourite station. I grew up about 100 yards from it, and live just 500 yards from it now.

Just a retro Mr Benn reference.

Yes I love London Road station. I have never lived close to it though, or had the need to use it for transport, except once I think going to Newhaven with a pal who lived close. In my mind Newhaven is a bus ride not a train ride. Perhaps thats why it fascinates me, an artery out of town that I have seldom used, that entire line.

 

[clippedgull]

Kemp Town is/was my favourite

I use it every day, and from August next year, every other Saturday as well.

I suppose it's something I've grown up with an am used to - a railway station in a quiet(ish) suburban setting.

yes I just noticed your fish thing. That is very funny. They have to be from Newhaven and not Lewes those kids. The daftness plus the fact Newhaven kids will know what a cod is.

Fishersgate. Glamour area, up there with West brompton

on the ace rider network as posted.

ace rider was a discount travel scheme for kids in brighton and hove in the 80s. you did not live here then i guess.

No, didn't move to Brighton til 98. I feel somehow that my youth has been wasted checking out other counties rather than riding the Ace Rider bus service. Although we did have a bus service called Camberley Coaches and I would go in and out of town on that sometimes. You did not live in Camberley then I guess
