Ockley Station Ockley Station reminds you that railway station names are often arbitrarily chosen, this station being probably closer to Capel than it is to Ockley.  As you can see this is a traditional Victorian Style railway station in design, but in fact now the buildings are private houses, and so there is no waiting room or ticket office.  Actually a waiting room would be welcome as the trains only come one every hour.

The eagle-eyed will spot that this is the complementary photograph to <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/147830">TQ1640 : Ockley station</a>.
