Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

The station is located on the Seaford branch of the East Coastway line, 56 miles 51 chains (91.1 km) down the line from London Bridge.[1] The line reduces from two tracks to one immediately south of the station en route to Seaford.

There are two platforms at the station, joined by a footbridge. The station is managed by Southern, which operates all passenger services.

Newhaven Harbour is one of two stations serving the town of Newhaven, alongside Newhaven Town station less than half a mile (0.8 km) to the north. A third station in the town, Newhaven Marine, operated passenger services until 2006 and formally closed in October 2020.[2] Newhaven Harbour station is located on the south side of the town, adjacent to the Port of Newhaven freight terminal and nearby industrial estate. Despite the station's name, it does not serve the passenger ferry terminal − originally this was instead served by Newhaven Marine station, until the terminal was moved to a site next to Newhaven Town.

The station was opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway in 1886, 39 years after the opening of the line.

Services

Until December 2020, the station was served by trains every 30 minutes each way between Brighton and Seaford running seven days a week. However, as part of the December 2020 timetable change, most weekday trains on the line no longer call here; the station is only served during peak times, with a total of 8 trains per day each way. Weekend frequency remained unchanged.[3]
