It was transferred to the joint ownership of the LSWR and the London,Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) in 1860. Those companies operated passenger trains to Waterloo and London Bridge station respectively. In 1867 the LBSCR built an extension line from Leatherhead to Dorking,with the declared intention of continuing to the Sussex coast. A new Leatherhead station was built on the new line,and the LSWR was obliged to build its own independent,new Leatherhead station;this was a terminus for some years.
