Arundel
| Arundel station dates back to the opening on 3rd August
1863 of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway's extension from
Hardham Junction, just south of Pulborough, to Ford Junction on the west coast
line from Brighton to Portsmouth. Always an important station, at one time it
boasted a good complement of sidings but unfortunately is today only a shadow
of its formerself.
