Slinfold railway station was on the Cranleigh Line and served the village of Slinfold in West Sussex.
History
[edit]The line had a single track and opened on 2 October 1865.[1] The station had a single platform and a small goods yard facility. At one time[when?] it had three private sidings serving a brickworks (later Duke and Ockendens) and a timber yard (later Randalls Ladders).[citation needed]
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.
