Rail
The London Brighton and South Coast Railway line between Chichester and Midhurst ran along an embankment parallel to the Causeway. The line had opened in 1881, was closed to passengers in 1935 and was closed completely in 1953. The track bed remains.[1] On 19 November 1951 a freight train hauled by LB&SCR C2X class locomotive no. 32522 was derailed between Cocking and Midhurst after part of the embankment was washed out as a result of a blocked culvert.[4]
