Chichester, Fishbourne and Bosham Railway Stations: Facilities, Parking and Tickets
What National Rail publishes about the three Southern stations serving Chichester and the harbour villages: addresses, ticket offices, parking and step-free access.
Which railway stations serve Chichester?
Three stations on the coast line serve the city and the harbour villages: Chichester, Fishbourne and Bosham. National Rail lists all three as managed by Southern. We have not quoted train times or journey frequencies because they change with each timetable, so use National Rail or Southern's Chichester page and the live departures boards for those.
Southern says on its Chichester page that the city is around 90 minutes from London Victoria and that it is about a 10 minute stroll from the station into the town.
