context_page_description: Winchelsea railway station is a railway station in East Sussex, England. It is about 0.62 miles from Winchelsea and is actually in the neighbouring parish of Udimore. It is on the Marshlink line 9.3 miles north east of Hastings, and train services are provided by Southern. The station originally had two platforms, but in 1979, the line was singled and only the up platform is now in use. The former down platform and station building are now converted to a private house.
context_section_description: The station is in an isolated location. It is not a convenient way of getting to or from Winchelsea, especially outside daylight hours. The route involves walking down an unlit and winding country lane and then climbing a steep hill, walking along the A259 trunk road, which does not have a pavement. The journey takes about 15 minutes. As an alternative, Stagecoach bus route 100 runs from Rye and stops in the town.
  Being isolated and given the limited stopping service, it is little used other than by walkers visiting the Brede Valley. Local people may book a free lift to and from the station via a voluntary scheme run through Winchelsea Farm Kitchen.
