Ashtead railway station is a railway station serving the village of Ashtead in Surrey.

History

Designed by David Field in 1858 and opened by the Epsom and Leatherhead Railway, A part of the London and South Western Railway, it became a joint station between that railway and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and so was absorbed into the Southern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Railways.

For many years, the sign on one platform read "Ashtead" while the other read "Ashstead".^{[citation needed]}
