History

The station was opened on 1 June 1907 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) to serve expected development nearby, at the same time as the nearby Hurst Green halt. The halt consisted of two wooden platforms with a corrugated iron shelter on each.

The station closed to passengers on 26 September 1939, but remained in use during WW2 to serve nearby army camps. The line remains open and is today used by trains on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted line, although very little remains of the station.
