Bramber was a railway station on the Steyning Line which served the village of Bramber. The station was patronised by tourists visiting nearby Bramber Castle, Potter's Museum and the many tea gardens in the village. In order to accommodate the special excursion trains visiting the village, the station platforms were extra long.[1]
The station closed as a result of the Beeching Axe in 1966 and now forms part of the Downs Link footpath. Nothing remains of the station today which now forms part of a traffic roundabout as well as Bramber Garden Nursery.[2][3]
