Roffey Road Halt is a now disused station on the Arun Valley Line in West Sussex, England and was the second station north from Horsham on the stretch to Crawley. It occupied a rural setting and opened on 1 June 1907. The anticipated housing growth did not occur and it closed in 1937. Some associated cottages were demolished in the early 1970s.[2] The only visible signs of its existence are a number of concrete posts that supported the platforms.
It is likely that the site and associated land next to the old station will be developed in the 2020s. A large housing estate of 2700 houses and a new park and ride railway station at this site have been approved.[3]
