Hove - Transport

Transport

Hove has a comprehensive public transport system including buses to all districts, a bus monitoring system accessible via the internet and with displays at some bus stops (a system integrated with Brighton), and taxis which are able to pick up across the city (i.e. in Brighton as well as Hove).

Hove has two railway stations. Hove railway station has access to the Brighton main line and on to London without the need to go through Brighton. It is also on the West Coastway Line, as is Hove's other station, Aldrington. Additionally, there was briefly a 'halt' stop between Hove and Brighton, at Holland Road. Direct train journeys to London take just over an hour, and to Brighton, a few minutes.

Branching off close to Aldrington was formerly a branch line to Devil's Dyke The route of the line may be followed along a path alongside West Hove golf club; the path leads all the way to Devil's Dyke, and railway sleepers once used under the tracks may be seen to either side of the path, plus the remains of two of the stations still exist in places but are on private land.
