Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Site of the former Bramley & Wonersh station
View SSE towards the village centre.

This was once a stop on the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway's line from Guildford to Horsham. According to Dendy Marshall's 'History of the Southern Railway' (not always reliable) the line opened in October 1865. In 1923 the LBSCR became part of the newly-formed Southern Railway, which in turn became the Southern Region of British Railways in 1948. The Guildford-Horsham line closed in 1965, in the era of the 'Beeching cuts'. A contribution by Ben Brooksbank shows the station as it was a few years before closure: 1884542.

The old track-bed has been re-surfaced as a cycle and pedestrian route, now included in the Downs Link. The gentle gradients of the old railway alignment make for easy cycling, and this stretch of the route is also well sheltered from wind, running within a ribbon of woodland.
