HomeRedhill railway station serves the town of Redhill, Surrey, England. The station is a major interchange point on the 
Brighton Main Line 34 km (21 miles) south of London Victoria. It is managed by Southern, which operates most trains serving Redhill.
History
The local topography determined that it was cheaper to build and operate a railway line between London and Brighton which by-passed the borough of Reigate and instead passed through the nearby Redstone or Red Hill gap. According to the Acts of Parliament establishing the railway routes between London and Brighton, and London and Dover, the line was to be shared between Croydon and Red Hill after which they would deviate. The London and Brighton Railway (L&BR) constructed the new line during 1840 and 1841, but on 16 July 1844 the South Eastern Railway (SER) eventually refunded half of the construction cost and took ownership of the section between Purley railway station and Redhill. (The SER had however been running services over the line since 1842.) The inevitable and continuing conflict between the two railway companies over the use of this joint line gave rise to the construction of four railway stations at the site of what was then a hamlet on the eastern side of Reigate.
Red Hill and Reigate Road (L&BR) station
The original station was opened by the L&BR on 12 July 1841 on a site to the south of the proposed junction with the SER, with the intention of serving the nearby market town. This closed on 15 April 1844.
Redhill/Reigate (SER) stations
On 26 May 1842 the SER opened what was originally called ‘Redhill’, but later misleadingly renamed ‘Reigate’ station, on their own stretch of line just beyond the junction. Passengers transferring between the two railways did so at the old Merstham station further up the line. The SER wanted to replace their ‘Reigate’ station with a joint station immediately before the junction, but the L&BR opposed the plan. As a result the SER forced the issue by ending the arrangements at Merstham, thereby forcing passengers to transfer between the two stations at Redhill by foot.
Reigate [i.e. Redhill] station
On 15 April 1844 the SER built a new station at the present site, named ‘Reigate’ which was to be used by both railways as the interchange station. On the same day the two existing stations were closed. The branch line to Reigate was opened in 1849 with a new station called Reigate Town.
Redhill Junction station
The SER ‘Reigate’ station was rebuilt and enlarged on the same site in August 1858. It was renamed ‘Redhill Junction’, eventually changing its name to ‘Redhill’ in July 1929 when it was under Southern Railway ownership
Quarry line
The disputes between the SER and the L&BR (and after July 1846 its successor the London Brighton and South Coast Railway) continued and ultimately caused the construction of the Quarry Line which avoided Redhill. Consequently, many trains on the Brighton main line do not call there
