Platform view (1987)

The station was destaffed in the 1990s. When the line was singled in 1990 the "up" platform was taken out of use and all trains now use the former "down" platform. The track is not electrified, so only diesel or steam trains can run.

In 1994 a serious accident occurred just south of the station.

Services

The typical off-peak service is one train per hour to London Bridge via Oxted and one train per hour to Uckfield. On Sundays, the service to London Bridge terminates at Oxted.
