Crawley is a town in northern Sussex, near the M23. The Town has a population of over 110,000 split into 14/15 neighborhoods plus a large industrial estate. The town started its growth after World War II as the Government listed the village as a 'New Town' along with the surrounding villages. A Few A roads have been created in Crawley, mostly between the neighborhoods, these A roads pretty much stay within Crawley and are some of the newest in Sussex. The town is situated on the Brighton Mainline, with two railway stations (Three Bridges and Gatwick Airport) with a junction at Three Bridges supporting the Arun Valley Line which has a further two stations on it (Crawley, Ifield)
