context_page_description: Midhurst railway station used to serve the market town of Midhurst in the county of West Sussex. The first railway to reach the town was a branch line from Petersfield opened by the London & South Western Railway on 1 September 1864.
  The London Brighton and South Coast Railway opened a separate station on 15 October 1866 when the line from Pulborough via Petworth was opened. It was resited in 1881 when a further line from Chichester in the south opened, also constructed by the LBSCR. This new station was designed by T. H. Myres in the LBSCR's 'Country House' design, which can still be seen at the preserved Bluebell Railway's stations. The station also had two signal boxes, while the original station continued to be used as a goods yard. An engine shed was also here but this was closed by the Southern Railway after 1923.
  The former London & South Western Railway station closed in 1925 when services were diverted to the former LBSCR station.
  The station closed to passengers on 5 February 1955, but freight services between Midhurst and Pulborough remained until 16 October 1964. The LBSCR station was demolished and the site is now under housing.
