The London and South Western Railway opened the station on its Guildford to Aldershot line in 1891. British Rail (BR) closed the station's signal box in 1966, on the day that it commissioned the then-new signal box at Ash Crossing. Ash Crossing signal box has itself since been decommissioned and demolished. BR made Wanborough unstaffed in 1987. The station is Script error: No such module "convert". from Waterloo (measured via Worplesdon and milepost <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />30+14 at Guildford), and has two platforms, which can each accommodate a four-coach train.[1]
