Ore railway station serves Ore in East Sussex, England. It is on the Marshlink Line, and train services are provided by Southern, with a single peak hour service operated by Southeastern.
Third rail 750 V DC electrification from Hastings ends here.
The station opened in 1888 and was electrified in 1935.[1]
Ore station was once adjoined to the north by a depot for electric trains but this closed in May 1986 following the electrification of the Hastings to Tonbridge line and relocation of electric units for servicing and cleaning to St Leonards depot.
Today, there are two platforms linked by a footbridge. Both platforms have shelters and modern help points. Ore station has been unstaffed since a booking office fire in the late 1980s, although the station has a self-service ticket machine available for ticket purchases. The station has step-free access to the Ashford bound platform only.[2]
The area has in the past been a hotspot for vandalism but is now covered comprehensively by CCTV. It is scheduled for re-development in the future which may involve the station being renamed to either Hastings East or Ore Valley.[3]
