History
editThe original Hurst Green Halt opened 1 June 1907 with short wooden platforms, sited between the road bridge and the junction of the East Grinstead/Uckfield lines. This halt was closed on 12 June 1961 and the present station was opened on the northside of the bridge.
Facilities
editOn the London-bound platform is a staffed ticket office (open during most of the day) and a self-service passenger-operated ticket machine is located outside the station on the London-bound side.
