Roffey Road Halt is a now disused station on the Arun Valley Line in West Sussex, England and was the second station out of Horsham on the stretch to Crawley. It occupied a rural setting and opened on the 1st June 1907. The anticipated housing growth did not occur and it closed in 1937.[2] The only visible signs of its existence are a number of concrete posts that supported the platforms.
