This is not the best station I've been to but not the worst by far! Despite being small, there is plenty of choice for coffee, flowers, papers etc. It's reasonably clean and well kept but I would say it could be a bit of a nightmare during busy times. There are a few fast track ticket machines, so if you don't need to get any travel advice, it's probably best to use these. Also, there's not alot of parking outside so try and avoid taking your car.

...because there aren't enough ticket barriers for the hundreds of people who seem to get off the train at Hove... in fact, I've been there several times when they just open the barriers... seems a bit pointless buying a ticket really.
The station itself is ok - it has a little coffee hut (well, it's a room where a lady sells hot drinks, sandwiches etc) on one of the platforms. Cheap, and the coffee isn't actually that bad.
There is a news agents inside too.

Hove station is pretty average, been to worse, been to better. The thing that is very annoying is how if we experience 1mm more rain than usual the underpass floods. Oh and there is always a queue to buy a ticket. Inside there is a small newsagent stand. Outside there is a flower stall and a fairly small carpark.
