Sidley railway station is a closed railway station In Sidley, East Sussex. It was on the Bexhill West branch of the Hastings Line from Tunbridge Wells. It was opened by the South Eastern & Chatham Railway and was operated by the Southern Region of British Railways on closing. All the station buildings and platforms were demolished soon after closure. The goods shed was the last railway building on the site which was demolished in 2009 having been derelict for many years. The cutting where the station was situated was infilled to about platform level and the levelled land used by a motorbike training centre which closed in 2012.
