The station was opened in 1868 as
Rotherfield by the Brighton, Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells Railway. The station was renamed
Crowborough in 1880 [1] (Rotherfield was given to a new station which was much closer to the actual village of Rotherfield!)
The station was rebuilt in 1905 by which time the station was known as
Crowborough and Jarvis Brook. The station name was changed back to just Crowborough in 1980. The station was close to Crowborough Brickworks with a goods yard next to station which served the works. The works closed in 1980 [2].
The station is served by a train per hour in each direction between
London Bridge and
Uckfield.
