From the Wikipedia article
Bishopstone railway station is on the western side of the town of Seaford, East Sussex, England. It is situated close to the coast, and about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the downland rural village of Bishopstone after which it is named. Train services from the station are provided by Southern, and the station is on the Seaford Branch of the East Coastway Line, 58 miles 3 chains (93.4 km) measured from London Bridge.

That was closed in 1938, when the current station opened, but was subsequently reopened under the name of Bishopstone Beach Halt, and survived as such until 1942.
