[3] Other halts were opened at Holland Road,Dyke Junction,Fishersgate,and Bungalow Town. [3] Built to serve the growing settlement at East Worthing,the original station name reflected the name of the road bridge at the eastern end. [4] The renaming from Ham Bridge Halt to East Worthing Halt took place in September 1949. [5] A further renaming to just East Worthing was instigated when British Rail stopped using the term 'Halt' from the timetable that commenced during May 1969. [6]
