Although there was a temporary station in Sandhurst between 1852-53 [1], a permanent station called Sandhurst Halt was not opened until 1909. The station did not have a goods yard, there were proposals to build a replacement station north of Sandhurst with a goods yard at the end of the First World War but these proposals came to nothing.
The station is on an embankment and had wooden platform buildings. These have now been replaced by the usual bus shelter type accommodation. Access to the platforms is via ramps to road level. The station is managed by Great Western Railway who also run an hourly (most days) service in both directions on the North Downs Line.
