    East Grinstead is a town and civil parish in the northeastern corner of Mid Sussex, West Sussex in England near the East Sussex, Surrey, and Kent borders. It lies 27 miles (43 km) south of London, 21 miles (34 km) north northeast of Brighton, and 38 miles (61 km) east northeast of the county town of Chichester. The civil parish covers an area of 2443.45 hectares (6,035 acres) and had a population of 23,942 persons in the 2001 census. Nearby towns include Crawley to the west, Tunbridge Wells to the east and Redhill and Reigate to the northwest. The town is continuous with the village of Felbridge to the northwest. Until 1974 East Grinstead was the centre for local government - East Grinstead Urban District Council - and was located in the county of East Sussex. East Grinstead, along with Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, as part of the former Cuckfield Rural District Council, came together as Mid-Sussex; moving to the jurisdiction of West Sussex County Council. The town has many historic buildings and is located on the Greenwich Meridian. It is located in the Weald and Ashdown Forest lies to the south of the town.

    Former South East Londoner myself! I moved to Essex eventually. My mum moved out to Maidstone and hasn't stopped singing its praises, and my dad moved to Crawley, which is actually quite a nice place.

    Just checked it on rail planner and East Grinstead trains go from Victoria on a Southern train. I can only travel on South Eastern trains unfortunately

    Crawley would be ideal as use Gatwick on a monthly basis but need to stay on the South Eastern train network

    Why South Eastern only, a travelcard is a travelcard?

    The train service via Three Bridges is excellent.

    no and unfortunately they dont offer them at all anymore. They were given out when i first started but as with most perks these days they have been withdrawn and only those who had them to begin with are reissued every year so worth keeping hold of!
