History

On 11 April 1944 two goods trains collided at Shalford Station. One of them consisted of tankers of aviation fuel en route to airfields in Kent. Leaks from the damaged wagons caused a major fire which was eventually brought under control by the Fire Brigade, with assistance of members of the local police and Home Guard volunteers, who used sandbags to contain the spread of the burning fuel. Nearby properties, including a potato and vegetable store, were badly damaged as was the steel road bridge over the railway that was buckled by the heat. Fortunately the local pub, the Queen Victoria, escaped unharmed.^[2]

Services

{{As of|2016|May}}, the typical off-peak service is one train per hour to {{rws|Reading}} and one to {{rws|Redhill}}. Additional services from Reading terminate at Shalford in peak hours.^[3]

Between Guildford and Redhill the stopping service pattern alternates every two hours off-peak:

Hour 2	Guildford\|Surrey\|2}}	Shalford	Dorking West}}	Dorking Deepdene}}	Betchworth}}	Reigate}}	Redhill}}

In peak hours the stopping service serves all stations in both directions.

On Sundays, all services are extended to {{rws|Gatwick Airport}}, but the service is two-hourly in each direction.
