Southease railway station is a railway station 0.5 miles (800 m) east of the village of Southease, East Sussex, England. It is on the Seaford Branch of the East Coastway Line. The station is surrounded by agricultural land. The South Downs Way crosses the Seaford Branch here.
The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway opened the station on 1 September 1906 as Southease and Rodmell Halt, to serve two villages in the Ouse Valley; Southease, 0.5 miles (800 m) to the west, and the slightly larger Rodmell, more than 1 mile (1.6 km) away. The station was renamed Southease on 12 May 1980.
There was a racecourse between the railway line and the River Ouse from the late 1920s to the early 1940s
The station is unmanned and has two platforms, each with a PERTIS machine. A self service ticket machine was also installed in 2016. There is a level crossing immediately north of the station leading to Itford Farm and the A26 road. The crossing is a user-controlled crossing with barriers which can be raised or lowered by road users. There is a pedestrian gate for walkers and cyclists. There is also a footbridge over the line.
