(I read the rules and I think this is allowed although it only existed for 6 months in 1846).

Any closed station that existed for the smallest amount of time is perfectly allowable on this quiz

If I am reading the history right (and my source is accurate which it might not be) then I think it's Polegate 2nd station. The 1st station was on the site of the current (3rd) one. It was the 2nd station which was east of the junction with the Hailsham line.

My posting now shows the 1881 station, if that helps

Bungalow Town Halt (aka Shoreham Airport Halt)

There are two closed stations prior to that one (which is correct, incidentally)
HINT....
One was closed in 1880 and is in the same town as an open station and the other one was a halt that closed in 1879.

Kingston-on-Sea is the 1879 one
................................................................................................................................................
Since Shoreham Airport Halt (closed in 1940) has already been named, we should carry on after that particular closed statiom

Lyminster Halt
I just plain missed Kingston on Sea, but the Hove situation is more complicated. The original Hove station seems to have been very close to Holland Road Halt, and there was yet another station called Cliftonville which was just east of current Hove (in fact the current station is probably a westward extension of Cliftonville as I understand it).
Incidentally there seems to have been a similar kind of situation at Lewes, with stations called Ham and Pinwell shown in one of my sources, but I couldn't find out enough to be confident in naming them. Maybe you all know more.
