It is 9 miles 55 chains (15.6 km) down the line from Brighton. The station is operated by Southern, who operate a

ll of the services. The unstaffed station has ticket issuing facilities through one Shere FASTticket self-service ticket machine on the eastbound platform. Between 2001 and 2006 a small wooden ticket office building on the eastbound platform was demolished. The ticket office had previously caught fire in 1997. The platforms can only accommodate 4-coach trains. Until 2014 they were 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) wide, preventing the use of access ramps for disabled passengers; but in January of that year work began to widen them to 3.75 m (12.3 ft). This work was scheduled for completion in May of that year. East Worthing has 2 platforms. Platform one serves trains towards Brighton/London Victoria via Hove, and platform two, which serves trains towards Portsmouth & Southsea / Southampton Central.
