Reigate railway station
Reigate railway station serves the town of Reigate, Surrey, England, on the North Downs Line. It is 24 miles 27 chains (24.34 miles, 39.17 km) measured from London Charing Cross via Redhill. The station is managed by Southern.
The original Reigate stations were located two miles from the town centre in a hamlet then known as Warwick Town but which later became Redhill. Red Hill and Reigate Road station was opened by the London and Brighton Railway on 12 July 1841. The nearby town was then served by a horse-drawn omnibus service operated by the railway. This was followed on 26 May 1842 by the South Eastern Railway (SER) Red Hill station (later misleadingly renamed 'Reigate'). Both these stations closed on 15 April 1844 when a new joint Redhill and Reigate station opened on the site of the present Redhill railway station.
The current Reigate station opened 4 July 1849 with the opening of the branch line from Redhill to Reigate by the Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway; the original station building from that time is still in use today. The station was initially called Reigate Town. The station was operated by the SER until 1898, the South Eastern and Chatham Railway until 1922, the Southern Railway (UK) until 1947 and British Railways until 1997.
The line between Redhill and Reigate was electrified on 1 January 1933 but the remainder remains unelectrified.
Services at Reigate are operated by Southern and Great Western Railway using Class 165 and 166 DMUs and Class 377 EMUs.
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
On Sundays, the service to and from London Victoria is reduced to hourly.
The current service levels were introduced in May 2018 and represent a considerable improvement in the number of trains to and from London. Prior to May 2018, the station was served by an hourly service to London Victoria on weekdays and Saturdays only, with no Sunday service.
