Godalming's first station was opened in 1849 by the London & South Western Railway as a single platform terminus. This was replaced by the current station (though the original station remained in use for passenger services until 1897) which was opened in 1859 as the line was continued southwards to Havant.
The original station was retained as a goods yard, the original station building being used as the office. The yard was closed in 1969 [1].
The original LSWR station building still exists and is in a good condition with the original style canopy. However, the shelter on the up platform (platform 1) have been replaced by modern shelters [2]. A modern footbridge with lifts is a recent addition, replacing a subway.
Godalming is managed by South Western Railway, there are usually at least two trains an hour in each direction.
