Trains to Sanderstead - Station Details and further Information on Sanderstead Train Services

Sanderstead train station is in the London Borough of Croydon, a mile from Sanderstead village. It is in Travelcard Zone 6. The station is served by Oxted Line trains from East Grinstead and Uckfield to East Croydon and London Bridge and London Victoria. Trains are operated by Southern.

Sanderstead was opened on 10 March 1884 by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and the South Eastern Railway upon the opening of their line between Croydon and East Grinstead. Sanderstead's population at this time was around 300, rising to 534 by 1901. An extensive bookstall was opened on the up platform, and a signal box on the down platform.

The original station building was weather-boarded, cheap to construct but requiring regular maintenance. It was destroyed by fire in June 1986 and a new brick-built unimaginative replacement opened in September 1987. The signal box closed on 2 November 1985 and was demolished in August 1987. Around the same time, the East Grinstead Line was electrified, with the full electric timetable being introduced in October 1987.

Electric trains from Sanderstead served the Woodside and South Croydon Railway to Elmers End until the line closed in 1983; at that time, fewer than 150 people were using the service per day, which ran on weekdays at peak hours between Elmers End and Sanderstead. A short stretch of that line from the former Selsdon station towards the site of Spencer Road Halt continued in use to serve an oil terminal until March 1993.
