Mrs Caulfield said: “This is great news for rail passengers across the Lewes constituency who will have improved facilities at these railway stations thanks to Southern Rail and the Passenger Benefit Fund.
“As a commuter I spend a lot of time at railway stations and know that people need high standards of facilities such as toilets, seating, and space to escape the elements.
