History Opened by the Brighton & Chichester Railway on 16 March 1846, Goring-By-Sea is one of the oldest stations on the Sussex coast. Originally called ‘Goring’ and constructed with just a single track, it was soon absorbed by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) who quickly doubled the track. In 1890, a three road goods yard was opened. A ‘Saxby & Farmer’ signalbox was opened on the upside (platform 1) in 1900 and, in the same year, a cast iron footbridge was constructed. The station was renamed to ‘Goring-by-Sea’ in 1908 to avoid any confusion with Goring & Streatley station on the Great Western mainline. The track was electrified in 1938. In 1958, an awning was constructed over platform 1. As with all local stations, ownership was transferred to the Southern Railway in 1923 and, subsequently, British Railways in 1948. Although the goods yard was closed in 1962, and the signal box was removed when manual signalling was abolished in 1988, the station has won the ‘Best Kept Station’ for many years. In 1987, the station was refurbished under the new management of Network SouthEast. In 2020, platform 1 was extended so it could accommodate an 8-carriage train. The cast iron footbridge was renovated in 2021. Services Off-peak, all services at Goring-by-Sea are operated by Southern using EMUs.
