Wivelsfield railway station 3.1

Wivelsfield railway station is a railway station on the Brighton Main Line in West Sussex, England. The station is located in northern Burgess Hill and primarily serves the town's neighbourhoods of World's End and Sheddingdean. It is 40mi down-line from and is situated between and stations on the line. It is managed by Southern, which is one of three companies serving Wivelsfield; the other two are Thameslink and (only during rush hour) Gatwick Express.Despite the station's name, the village of Wivelsfield actually lies approximately 2.3mi to the northeast, in the Lewes District of East Sussex.The station is just north of Keymer Junction, where the East Coastway Line via diverges from the main line.HistoryThe London Brighton and South Coast Railway opened a station called Keymer Junction on the Lewes line, just beyond the junction, towards the end of 1854, although, it appears that some trains may have called at Keymer Crossing from the completion of the junction in 1847. The station was closed on 1 November 1883 to allow for the proposed remodelling of the junction. However, when the railway later sought Parliamentary authority to abandon their planned changes, they were required to provide a replacement station to the north of the junction on the present site.
