Stonegate railway station sits within the civil parish of Ticehurst itself — not a separate parish boundary — about 2.7 miles from Ticehurst village. It's on the Hastings line, with an off-peak service of one train an hour to London Charing Cross and one an hour towards Hastings.
The station opened in 1851 under the name Witherenden, was known for a time as Ticehurst Road, and was renamed Stonegate in 1947 — a small bit of local history for a station that's been serving this corner of the High Weald for well over 170 years.
It varies by route — a fixed, pre-agreed fare is the safest way to avoid an unexpectedly high one.
We're not an app — you book directly with the same local operator every time.
Stonegate station is the primary reason most people search for a taxi here — whether you're arriving and need a lift onward, or heading to the station for a train. With one train an hour in each direction off-peak, timing your taxi to the train (not the other way around) matters, and that's exactly what we plan for when you book.
In the UK, 'taxi' usually means a hackney carriage — a car you can hail in the street or pick up from a rank — while a pre-booked car like ours is technically 'private hire.' Even a small station village like Stonegate has a taxi firm covering it, which is exactly what we're here for.

We're not an app — you book directly with us by phone, WhatsApp, or our online quote form, and speak to the same local operator every time rather than whichever driver an app happens to assign.
