The first railway to penetrate Sussex was the Brighton Line of the
LBSCR. From this beginning, lines spread out along the coast. Over
the succeeding years further lines stretched across out the rest of
the county, all built by the 'Brighton', which was by far the
dominant railway company in the area and established a major works
at Brighton. The company, however, didn't have it all its own way.
In the south-west corner the LSWR penetrated as far as Midhurst,
and in the east the SECR had the fastest route to Hastings.
Branching off this line at Robertsbridge was the Kent & East
Sussex. There were also two of Colonel Stephens' rather
idiosyncratic railways in the county: The Rye & Camber Tramway,
and The West Sussex Railway. The story of the growth and
development of the railways of Sussex, and in some cases their
demise, is told here.
