Stoneleigh railway station is in the Epsom and Ewell district of Surrey, England. The station is served by South Western Railway and is currently in Travelcard Zone 5 (because of its proximity to the Greater London boundary); it is the only National Rail station in zone 5 not to be located in a London borough. It is located in the village of Stoneleigh, Surrey at grid reference TQ221642, 11 miles 74 chains (19.2 km) down the line from London Waterloo.

Description

[edit]

The station was opened in 1932 and was built in the utilitarian concrete style of the 1930s. It has an island platform with the ticket office in the overbridge opposite the platform entrance steps. In 2024 the Station was modernized with the replacement of the overbridge with a modern elevator equipped alternative to afford step free access.

Access to the station is from either side of the line, the east side from Stoneleigh Broadway, and the west side from Station Approach, off Stoneleigh Park Road. In 2013, the platform was extended so that ten-carriage trains can stop at the station. This opened in late 2014.

During the 1980s-1990s the station won many awards for "Best Station" due to its well kept flower beds set between the platforms.
