History
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 it had three private sidings serving a brickworks (later Duke and Ockendens) and a timber yard (later Randalls Ladders).
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.

gollark: MacOS seems like it's gradually becoming more like iOS.
gollark: I thought the workflow was more along the lines of "open app file, experience error, rightclick it in some specific menu, click "open" there (which works differently to opening it in all the other ways)", but sure.
gollark: Even on the platforms which don't REQUIRE signing (all except the new ARM ones?), they make it very difficult to run code they don't preapprove.
gollark: Yes, Apple do not like that.
gollark: Except when they're not.
