Road directions
If you are coming from Brighton and travelling along the A27 follow signs to Worthing and turn left at Grove Lodge roundabout. Turn right, left again and continue straight on over both mini roundabouts. Continue straight down South Farm Road passed Worthing High School and towards Worthing station. Just before Worthing level crossing turn right at the corner shop, go all the way down Becket Road to the end. Turn left and you will see West Worthing level crossing, the station is on the right hand side.
Parking
There is a station car park, and various back streets to park down, but do not park down Becket Road as there is rarely a free space to park your car, double parking on both sides and your car is likely to get knocked by another car coming down the centre of the road.
Public transport
Train: There are lots of trains that stop at the station from Brighton, London Victoria, Littlehampton, Bognor Regis, Chichester, Portsmouth and Southampton.
Bus: There is also a few bus stops nearby so you could get the bus here. Make sure you get on the right bus and check your local bus timetable to/from West Worthing.
Amenities
There are no toilets on the station however there are some nearby cafés which do have toilets. There are quite a few takeaways around the area so there are plenty of places to get something to eat. There is also a Co-op north of the station where the bus stop is so you can even get your shopping if you feel like it.
Accommodation
There is plenty of accommodation in Worthing town centre and on the seafront.
Light is mainly good all year round however it is quite difficult to photograph some days in the evening during mid summer as the sun is very bright, but do not be put off by this as alternatively you can photograph in the opposite direction. You can get to both platforms via the subway or level crossing, however be careful because if you are on the westbound platform you cannot see round the curve facing east and a fast train may catch you by surprise at any time. There are also two footbridges nearby to take overhead shots of passing trains, they are 'Jacobs Ladder Footbridge' located to the east of West Worthing and 'Elm Grove Footbridge' located to the west. There is however bars blocking any decent photos on both bridges but it is possible to take photos through them. Both footbridges are visible from the station.
