Three hand pumps providing London Pride, Hophead and Long Man Best Bitter. Six keg beers available, Asahi, Grolsch, Cornish Orchards cider, Estrella, Long Man Crafty Blonde and a new one for me from Meantime, the Cutty Haze IPA.
New venue for Steamworks, but as far as I know still 100% East Sussex station-based establishments. This one is in the station of Glynde, a mere 6 mins away on a train every hour from Lewes. This one feels less quaint than the long-standing venue in Seaford station. Indeed, that one, based on my visits, has an interesting cask and craft keg range whereas this one, whilst nice to have three well-kept cask ales, felt a bit less inventive with its range. The venue is accessed from the car park at the front of the station and provides direct access to platform 2 (need to cross to platform 1 if you are leaving it last minute to get a train back into Lewes and need to remember the trains are every hour). The bar counter is against the left-hand wall and has five tables of various size and styles in this side with a central brick column housing a log burner being the divider between this side and another similar sized area the other side (with slightly more but slightly smaller regular tables). The walls are adorned, not surprisingly, with lots of railway memorabilia. The venue was nicely occupied on my mid Friday afternoon visit and it felt like those here were here for the venue rather than imminently waiting a train. Given there is no other pub in Glynde (it's the Ram in West Firle or back into Lewes for the nearest watering hole other than here), it is a good addition to the area around here.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Steamworks Glynde
Nicely done conversion of this village station building, with a similar look to the traditional interior as at its older sibling in Seaford. It also opens at 10:00 so more of a café in early part of the day, but the bar was already operational when I arrived at 11:15. Mix of wooden furniture in the two rooms separated by the central fireplace (now occupied by a log-burner), with the counter at the end of the part with front entrance. Three cask ales on handpump: Bluebell best bitter (£4.60) and Session IPA from 360° plus Hophead.

This new-ish Steamworks bar had about 10 in during my late Friday afternoon visit, so it's showing early promise, with the Trevor Arms on the other side of the station still available for let after all these years.
Unfortunately, I found a somewhat pedestrian beer range - Asahi Hophead & Pride, plus Long Man Best as your cask options, with nothing more exciting than an Asahi Pale Ale on the keg taps - the Seaford venue was definitely more interesting when I last visited. As a result, I didn't feel compelled to stay for too long.
