Nutfield railway station is on the Redhill to Tonbridge Line and serves Nutfield, Surrey. It is about a mile south of Nutfield in South Nutfield, a settlement which was non-existent before the coming of the railway. The station, and all trains serving it, has since December 2008 been operated by Southern, following the ending of the previous Southeastern service.

History

A 1905 Railway Clearing House map of lines around Nutfield railway station.

The railway line between Redhill and Tonbridge was opened by the South Eastern Railway on 26 May 1842,^[1] and Nutfield station opened on that line on 1 January 1884.^[2]

The station was permanently destaffed in 1967 but for a few years afterwards a railman issued tickets during the weekday morning rush hours.

In 1993 the line was electrified and services started to run through to London rather than being an extension of the Reading to Tonbridge North Downs Line service.

Station facilities

The two platforms are linked by a footbridge.

Trains heading to Tonbridge have an information board displaying the next train details, and in May 2011 an information board was installed on Platform 1 which heads to Redhill and London.

In 2008, a PERTIS machine was installed at this station at the entrance to the Redhill-bound platform.

Services

The typical off peak service is one train per hour east to Tonbridge railway station, and west to London Charing Cross via Redhill and East Croydon.
