Location
The station is in an isolated location. It is not a convenient way of getting to or from Winchelsea, especially outside daylight hours. One has to walk down an unlit and winding county lane and then climb a steep hill, walking along the A259 trunk road, which does not have a pavement. Being so isolated and given the limited stopping service, it little used other than by walkers visiting the Brede Valley. Local people may book a free lift to and from the station through a voluntary scheme run through the village post office.
An ungated level crossing means that all trains must slow down to a maximum of 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) at this location.
