 To help meet the cost, Society members agreed to the sale of two plots of land on a former brickworks site to the east of the former station.The Society has a long term ambition but still no plans or timetable to rebuild the station at West Hoathly.The Society believes that in the long term, with substantial residential complexes around the former station site, the station could provide a useful public-transport facility for the residents of West Hoathly and Sharpthorne.
