Texte de Wikipédia en anglais, en attente de traduction.

Battle railway station is on the Hastings line in the south of England and serves the town of Battle, East Sussex. It is 55 miles 46 chains (89.4 km) down the line from London Charing Cross . The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southeastern. It was opened on 1 January 1852 and line to Hastings opening a month later. The Gothic-style station building, designed by William Tress, is Grade II listed. Battle station consists of two platforms linked by a footbridge (with steps on both sides) and a station building housing a ticket office and waiting room. Train information is provided in the form of automated announcements, displays and poster timetables. All the original sidings have now gone and now form part of the car park. The platforms are staggered and originally did not overlap as they do now, but were extended to cater for eight-carriage trains before the 1986 electrification of the line by British Rail.
