Arundel station dates back to the opening on 3rd August 1863 of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway's extension from Hardham Junction, just south of Pulborough, to Ford Junction on the west coast line from Brighton to Portsmouth. Always an important station, at one time it boasted a good complement of sidings but unfortunately is today only a shadow of its former self.
