The station was opened as Camberley & York Town by the London & South Western Railway in 1878. The station was originally on a single track with a single platform. The line was doubled in 1893 and a second platform added to the station. The station later became part of the Southern Railway who electrified the line in 1938. British Rail rebuilt the station in 1975 [1] in the D70 style using steel beams and glass [2].
The station is managed by South Western Railway typically with two trains an hour in each direction between Ascot and Aldershot. Some peak hour services also extend to London Waterloo. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge.
