St Leonards Warrior Square railway station is on theHastings line in the south of England and is one of four stations that serveHastings,East Sussex. It is 61 miles 55 chains (99.3 km) down the line fromLondon Charing Cross. The station is operated bySoutheastern but is also served by trains operated bySouthern.

The station building and house, still in existence today, were constructed in 1851 by theSouth Eastern Railway (SER). The competingLondon, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) trains were not allowed to stop here until December 1870.^[2] Between 1851 and 1882, it was named Gensing Station. The two companies maintained separate booking offices until 1923 when they both became part of theSouthern Railway. The station is constructed in a narrow valley with higher ground east and west, so that trains arrive and depart either end of the platform through tunnels. This restricts the number of carriages which have direct access to the platform to 8 cars.
