Assisted travel information
Assistance navigating through the station and getting on and off trains (by ramp if required) is available during station staffing hours (see Staff Help available times) . You can book assistance up to 12 hours before your journey or up to 10pm the day before - whichever is the shorter time. You can also travel without booking, just make yourself known to staff as far in advance as possible of the train you would like to get - we recommend at least 20 minutes. The meeting point for booked assisted travel is the ticket office or you can use the help point on platform 1 if you are travelling towards Bexhill or West St Leonards. If travelling towards Hastings then it may be best to go direct to Platform 2 if you are being dropped off as there is no step free route between the platforms. The entrance to Platform 2 is off Station Approach Road with the step free route direct from the car park . There are staff on all the Southeastern trains that call at this station that can assist with getting on and off trains only. If no staff at the station ensure you position yourself on the platform so the on train staff can see you.
