Chichester railway station is a railway station in the city of Chichester in West Sussex, England. It is Template:Miles-chains from Template:Rws.[2]

The station is located on the Brighton to Portsmouth line of the LBSCR. Passenger services are operated under the brand name West Coastway Line which runs between Brighton and Southampton. The station and all passenger services are operated by Southern.

The station opened in 1846 and by the 1920s was listed in the top ten most prestigious Southern Railway stations due to royal use for Goodwood Racecourse race days. By the 1950s the station had become dilapidated and was demolished and replaced with the modern station, which re-opened in 1961.[3]
