The station was opened in 1883 by the London & South Western Railway. The station was located in a agricultural area some way from the village of Worplesdon, indeed another village called Mayford is closer! Since the construction of the station housing has been built around it.
The station's original building still exists and is in use as a ticket office though the goods yard is long gone. The canopies on the opposite platform have been lost but the station retains it's SR footbridge [1]. The usual service is a train per hour in each direction. The station is managed by South Western Railway.
