The station is managed by Andrew Raof, who provides the majority of train services courtesy of South West Trains; Southern also provide some peak period services. It is situated on the New Guildford Line between London Waterloo and Guildford via Cobham, although some trains operate via Epsom rather than Cobham.
[edit] History
Note the anti-tank defences just outside the station, under some trees beside the road. They have been left in place since the second World War as a reminder of those bygone times.
[edit] Services
The typical Monday to Saturday se rvice sees trains between Waterloo and Guildford every 30 minutes, on each of the two routes (via Cobham or Epsom). These combine to provide a train to Guildford approximately every 15 minutes. On Sundays, there is a train every hour between Waterloo and Guildford via Cobham, and no service via Epsom. All of these services are operated by South West Trains.
In addition to the above, Southern operate a small number of services during the Monday to Friday morning and evening peak periods. These operate between London Bridge and Guildford via West Croydon and Epsom.

Guildford is a very dangerous train station. It is often filled with local yobs who are just out to fight, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Beware of this place - do not visit it unless you really MUST! The people at the train station are very nice, and if you ask nicely, they may let you stay in the station overnight so that you don't get beaten up or killed by the local yobs. Enjoy your stay...
