The station was opened by the Reading, Guilford & Reigate Railway in 1849. The station was located close to the Betchworth Quarry Railway which operated an extensive multi-gauge network which was linked to the North Downs Line by an exchange siding next to the station [1]. The quarry railway was closed in 1960.
The station is now unstaffed though retains it's original South Eastern Railway station house on the platform which is now a private residence. Access between the platforms is via a level crossing at the Reigate end of the platforms. The station is managed by Great Western Railway with a train an hour in each direction most of the week.
