East Worthing railway station is one of five stations serving the town of Worthing in the county of West Sussex. (The other stations being Worthing, West Worthing, Durrington-on-Sea and Goring-by-Sea). It is 9 miles 55 chains (15.6 km) down the line from Brighton. The station is operated by Southern,[1] who operate all of the services.
The unstaffed station has ticket issuing facilities through one Shere FASTticket self-service ticket machine on the eastbound platform. A Permit to travel machine is on the westbound platform. The station has one glass and metal shelter on each platform.[2] In the early 1990s a small wooden ticket office building on the eastbound platform was demolished.
The platforms can only accommodate 4-coach trains. Until 2014 they were 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) wide, preventing the use of access ramps for disabled passengers; but in January of that year work began to widen them to 3.75 m (12.3 ft).[3]
East Worthing has 2 platforms. Platform one, which leads towards Brighton/London Victoria via Hove, and platform two which leads to Portsmouth & Southsea / Southampton Central.
