East Grinstead railway station is one of the two southern termini of the Oxted line in the south of England and serves East Grinstead in West Sussex. It is 30 miles 4 chains (30.05 miles, 48.36 km) from London Bridge, although trains mostly run to and from London Victoria. The station is managed by Southern.

The station was formerly divided into two levels: the lower-level platforms being used by services from the Oxted line and the East Grinstead to Lewes Line, whilst the higher-level platforms served the Three Bridges to Tunbridge Wells Central Line and was also used by services from the Oxted line running through to Tunbridge Wells West.

Only the lower-level platforms remain open today, the high level having closed in 1967 with the Three Bridges to Ashurst Junction line as part of the closure programme proposed by the Beeching Report.^[1] A third low-level platform has been constructed at the south of the station by the Bluebell Railway. Bluebell services began running south to Sheffield Park in 2013.
