About

Three Bridges sits just east of Crawley town centre and is centred on the railway junction and station. The station is where the Arun Valley line links with the Brighton Main Line, so rail layout and sidings shape much of the locality. There is a maintenance depot and a cluster of goods sidings that reflect the area’s long association with rail operations. Street patterns and later housing developments grew around those transport corridors rather than along a traditional village core.

The neighbourhood is part of Crawley borough and is served by local shops, a community centre, a primary school and sports pitches within short walking distance of the station. Short stretches of industrial and business units lie close to the tracks, providing employment linked to logistics and light industry. Road links give quick access to the town centre and to regional routes to the north and south. Regular commuter services make the station a practical hub for people travelling on the Brighton Main Line and services running through the Arun Valley.
