Closure Ratification Notice – Newhaven Marine station
1. On 22 July 2020 the Department for Transport asked the Office of Rail and
Road (ORR) to ratify the proposal to close Newhaven Marine station.
2. Further to s32(8) of the Railways Act 2005 (the Act), I am satisfied that:
a) there has been no failure or defect in the consultation; and
b) the proposal satisfies the criteria set out in the relevant part of the closure
guidance issued under the Act.
3. Having considered the overall proposal, I hereby ratify the closure of Newhaven
Marine station.
4. Under s33(2) of the Act, ORR may “impose such requirements relevant to the
proposal as it considers appropriate”. I do not consider it appropriate to impose such
requirements in this case.
5. Under ORR’s powers in s32(9)(b) of the Act, I require the operator of Newhaven
Marine station to display this notice at the station for a period of 4 weeks following the
date of this notice.
6. In addition, I require the operators of the stations in the area affected by the
closure – Brighton, Lewes, London Victoria, Newhaven Harbour and Newhaven Town–
to display this notice at those stations for the same period.
