Sanderstead railway station serves the village of Sanderstead in the London Borough of Croydon, although the station is some distance north-west of the original village centre. 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.
Sanderstead was opened on 10 March 1884, almost two years after the East Grinstead line had been opened. Trains from here also served the Woodside and South Croydon Railway line to Elmers End until that line closed in 1983. 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 the mid 1990s. In the latter days of the Elmers End line, Sanderstead station was electrified although the line between there and South Croydon was not. It was subsequently included in the electrification of the East Grinstead Line.
[edit] Original Station Building
The original weatherboarded station buildings were severely damaged by fire on 5 June 1987. The station Bridge is the only remaining item from the original station, although this too has changed over the years. The present brick building was opened in September 1987.
