In 2001 the platform edges & even station sign are
still visible, even if the trackbed is somewhat overgrown.
By 2005 the station is looking much like it was, with
a new waiting room, and repainted station signs.

behind the new 'Bramley Business Park' sign. By 2005,
the sign is much more visible, with it's concrete surround
having a new coat of white paint, and Replica Crossing

When the station building was demolished, the corner
holding the postbox was left!
Not much has changed between 2001 & 2005, except
the postbox has a new coat of paint. The new replica waiting
room is just visible on the other platform behind.

the track has gone and the station canopy is in a bad
way.

The platform edges can still be seen in 2001 even with
an overgrown trackbed.
The 2005 retake shows them much clearer with the newly
laid track ballast, and the gravel golden path that now
runs from Bramley station all the way to the footbridge
over the main Portsmouth line at Shalford Junction, just
beyond Peasmarsh Junction where the branch joined the
main line.

| Both concrete station signs
are still in very good condition. The enamel sign was returned
to the station in the mid 1990's after being used for many
years as a shelf in a greenhouse in Worthing! |
