History
The first railway to reach Pulborough was that from Horsham to Petworth, opened on 10 October 1859 and extended to in 1866. Pulborough and were the only two intermediate stations at the time. Four years later a link was made to the Brighton to Portsmouth line; the new line diverged from the Petworth branch at Hardham Junction just south of Pulborough.
Three platform faces were provided: a Down side platform on which the main station buildings stood, and an island platform whose western face was used by Midhurst line trains.
Passenger train services to Midhurst and were withdrawn in 1955, leaving just the Arun Valley Line serving Pulborough. The goods yard was closed in the mid-1960s and converted into a car park, and the goods shed is now a car repair centre. The station buildings, including a large, wide canopy on the island platform, remain largely unchanged but only two platform faces are now in use. The former up loop line used by Midhurst line trains has been removed.
