History

Middle Brighton station opened on 21 December 1861, when the railway line from North Brighton was extended to Brighton Beach. The signal box that protected the level crossing was also abolished during this time.

On weekdays, two early morning services originate from Middle Brighton. These services are formed by empty trains directly from the stabling yard at Brighton Beach.
