Woodside railway station was opened by July 1871 on the Woodside and South Croydon Railway, by the Mid-Kent Railway, to serve a nearby race course. A ramp facilitated the loading of racehorses. After the course closed in 1890, use of the station decreased. The station, which was built at street level over the platforms, was closed in 1997 in advance of the arrival of Tramlink; it has not been demolished.
Rail services used to run through Woodside on the routes London to Addiscombe and London to Sanderstead. Over the years, services were reduced and no longer continued to London, stopping at Elmers End. The route to Selsdon Road closed in 1983, but in the 1990s Tramlink was planned, and Tramlink now uses the former rail line between Elmers End and Lloyd Park. Woodside railway station became unstaffed in 1993, and the Addiscombe spur was finally closed in 1997; it has since become Addiscombe Railway Park.
