Chilworth railway station serves the village of Chilworth, Surrey, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by the Great Western Railway. It is on the North Downs Line, 39 miles 15 chains (39.19 miles, 63.07 km) measured from London Charing Cross via Redhill.
History
The Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway opened the station in 1849 as "Chilworth and Albury",[1] although the village of Albury is over 1.2 miles (2 km) away.
British Railways destaffed the station in November 1967.[2] In 1978, the signal box was closed and the signalling controls were transferred to the two nearest staffed boxes at Shalford and Gomshall.[3] The original Victorian footbridge and road crossing gates from the station were removed, and sold for £1 to the artist David Shepherd. They were transported on BRS low loader trucks to Somerset, for re-use on the East Somerset Railway, Cranmore.[1] The station has two platforms, which can each accommodate a six-coach train.[4]
Services
All services at Chilworth are operated by Great Western Railway using Class 165 and 166 DMUs.
The typical off-peak service is one train every two hours in each direction between Reading via Guildford and Gatwick Airport. During the peak hours, the service is increased to one train per hour in each direction.[5]
On Sundays, eastbound services at the station run only as far as Redhill.
