Live departures from Brighton station

Live Departures — Brighton
Reading the Departure Board

The departure board shows live train services from Brighton station. As a terminus, all trains originate here — the scheduled time is when the service is due to depart.

Peak hours are roughly 07:00–09:00 and 16:30–19:00 on weekdays. Services to London run every few minutes during peaks. Off-peak tickets are valid on trains departing after 09:30 (or 10:00 for some advance fares).

Destinations and platform numbers build up over time as the system receives updates from the live Darwin feed. A service may initially show without a platform — this is normal and will update as the train approaches.
