Billingshurst Railway Station serves the market town of Billingshurst, in West Sussex, England. It is on the Arun Valley Line {{convert|44|mi|71|chain|km}} down the line from {{stn|London Bridge}} via {{rws|Redhill}}. The station is operated by Southern. The signalbox was believed to be the oldest operational box in the country, and in May 2016 was moved to Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre.{{cite web|url=http://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/signal-box-moves-home-as-part-of-21m-investment-in-arun-valley-line|title=Signal box moves home as part of £21m investment in Arun Valley line|date=24 March 2014|publisher=Network Rail}}

Until 2006 both platforms were only 4 coaches long. Since then the platform for trains towards Pulborough has been extended to take 8 coaches and more recently the London-bound platform has also now been extended to 8-car length.{{cite news | title = Billingshurst platform extension | work = Modern Railways | location = London | date = October 2010 | page = 16 }}
