History
The town's first station was originally opened on 5 August 1856 by the Caterham Railway. It was closed on 1 January 1900 by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, which opened a new station of the same name on an adjacent site that day.[2] The site of the original station is now occupied by a supermarket and the present station's car park. The line was electrified (on the 660 V DC system) by the Southern Railway in March 1928.[3]
On 26 June 1945, two motormen were killed, and some passengers injured, when two trains collided. The inquiry found that an inattentive motorman had passed a signal at danger.[4]
Today the station and all trains serving it are operated by the Southern train operating company. It has a single island platform with a one-storey ticket office dating from just before the turn of the 20th century. There is a carriage siding on the western (Up) side of the station.
