'''Cooksbridge railway station''' serves the village of [[Cooksbridge]] in [[East Sussex]], England. It is on the [[East Coastway Line]], {{convert|47|mi|31|chain|km}} from {{stn|London Bridge}} via {{rws|Redhill}}. Train services are provided by [[Southern (train operating company)|Southern]].

The station is unstaffed. A [[Permit to travel|PERTIS]] ticket machine was installed in 2008 on both the London-bound and the Lewes-bound platform.

== History ==

Cooksbridge lies on the [[London, Brighton and South Coast Railway]] "cut-off" line between Keymer Junction, near [[Wivelsfield railway station|Wivelsfield]] on the [[Brighton Main Line]], and [[Lewes railway station|Lewes]]. The erstwhile ''Brighton, Lewes and Hastings Railway'' were authorised to build the line in 1845; the LBSCR purchased it and opened the link on 1 October 1847.<ref>Official notice published in {{cite news |newspaper=The Sussex Advertiser |date=28 September 1847 }}</ref> The station opened as Cook's Bridge<ref>{{cite book |last=Butt |first=R.V.J. |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |year=1995 |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |location=Yeovil |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |id=R508 |page=68 }}</ref> on the same date.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dendy Marshall |first1=C.F. |last2=Kidner |first2=R.W. |title=History of the Southern Railway |edition=2nd |year=1963 |orig-year=1937 |publisher=[[Ian Allan Publishing|Ian Allan]] |location=Shepperton |isbn=0-7110-0059-X |page=515 }}</ref> The first station master was Richard Strevett who stayed until promoted to Hailsham on 17 August 1861. This replacement (George Bennett) lasted only a few weeks, arriving on 16 August 1861 and returning to his old job (porter at Brighton) on 6 September 1861. His replacement, Alfred Paver, was appointed on 13 September 1861.<ref>The employment records of the London Brighton & South Coast Railway held in the National Archives.</ref>

The initial services were very sparse. The May 1848 timetable shows Up Trains to London at 8.30am and 5.50pm and a London arrivals at 9am. (Afternoon passengers were directed to travel via Lewes on the 5.50pm train).<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The Sussex Advertiser |date=30 May 1848 }}</ref>

During May 2020, Platform 1 was extended to accommodate 8 coach trains, as opposed to a previous 6.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cooksbridge Station Sees Improvements|url=https://rail-record.co.uk/cooksbridge-station-sees-improvements/|date=2020-05-09|website=Rail Record|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-05-09}}</ref>
