The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway opened Seaford station on 1 June 1864. It was designed as a through station for a proposed extension to Eastbourne that was never built.

A working model of Seaford Station as it appeared in the 1920s is displayed at Seaford Museum.

Signal box

At the end of the station, there was a signal box that was used up until the mid 1980s. The box was damaged by the salt air coming from the nearby sea and the box was dangerously unstable, therefore Seaford signal box was demolished in February 2002.[2]

Services

As of August 2021^[update] the typical off-peak service pattern is two trains per hour to Brighton via Lewes, seven days a week.[3] Most services are operated by Class 313 electric multiple units.
