History
The station opened in 1883, surrounded by open heath and farmland. Some nearby land has subsequently been developed and the station is currently situated in an area of affluent low-density housing. When it opened it was served by ten trains southbound towards Guildford, and nine trains northbound towards London.
In Autumn 2016, the station's signage was changed to Tarrytown during filming for The Commuter.
