The line had a single track and opened in 2 October 1865.[1] The station had a single platform and a small goods yard facility. At one time it had three private sidings serving a brickworks (later Duke and Ockendens) and a timber yard (later Randalls Ladders). These and the nearby level crossing had three signal boxes to control traffic.
The line was closed in 1965 following The Reshaping of British Railways report of 1963. Slinfold station was demolished and a caravan park now stands on the site[2]. Two LBSCR houses remain on the far side of the level crossing.
