This is the penultimate station on the Tattenham Corner Line. Train services and the station are operated by Southern. The station opened as a temporary terminus on 1 July 1900, when the railway line was extended from Kingswood. [2] [3] The line was extended to Tattenham Corner, opening on Derby Day on 4 June 1901. [4] The extension required relatively costly cuttings (even with cheap labour). The course taken, brought the railway branch through the centre of Tadworth, before turning sharply north.
Since at least World War II the start point for trains has been from London Bridge station. [5] [6] [7]
There are separate platforms for 'down' trains north to Tattenham Corner and 'up' trains to Purley and London, linked by a road overbridge at the south end of the station on which is located the former station building. [5]
