Difficult to follow

[edit]

This article is not easy to follow. There is a lot of uncited material, and a lot of slang phraseology that will be unfamiliar to anyone looking for basic information here. There is a lot of original research saying that something happens without any date -- there are four buses an hour to Brighton. Is it possible that the bus company altered that to 2 buses or 6 buses last month, so that the statement is untrue?

And I don't understand this sentence: "A station building ... was provided; this lasted until 1937, after which redevelopment was severely delayed by the Second World War and planning disputes." Does that mean the building lasted until after 1945? What happened to it in 1937?

And the main cited source is the Middleton Press book "South Coast Railways - Brighton to Worthing (1986)." My copy doesn't cover Littlehampton at all. Afterbrunel (talk) 09:47, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to just remove any uncited/poorly cited material. IMO the carriage siding section can go. The facilities, on the other hand - I would convert to prose and cite NRE (see, for example, Cardross railway station#Facilities. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 14:03, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
