From the Wikipedia article
Bognor Regis railway station serves the town of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, England. It opened as the terminus of a short branch line in 1864, replacing a more distant station on the Worthing to Chichester main line. Like the town it serves, it was known as Bognor until 1929. The junction on the main line is Barnham station, opened on the same day as the branch itself. With the developing leisure traffic travelling to the resort, the opportunity was taken to provide a lavish and commodious station in 1902. Electrification followed in 1937 as part of the Portsmouth No. 2 Electrification scheme of the Southern Railway, and a frequent service of trains from London was provided. Bognor Regis station is approximately 54 miles (87 km) southwest of London Victoria. The station is managed and serviced by Southern, a Govia Thameslink Railway brand. The train service on the main line and the branch is known as the West Coastway Line.

At first there were no branch lines on the main route, and the station was about 3 mi from Bognor itself. This original Bognor station was renamed Woodgate for Bognor in November 1846, and seems to have been erratically named in Bradshaw as Woodgate or Bognor. In 1845 a railway connection to Barnham from Guildford had been proposed,…
