History


The station was opened by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway on 22 May 1865,[4] as part of the Epsom Downs branch line. The branch was originally laid as double track because of the race traffic, and was electrified on 17 June 1928. A modern CLASP (pre-fabricated concrete) building was erected in the 1970s (this has since been demolished and cleared away). The branch was singled in 1982 and all trains use the former down platform. The Up platform still exists however.[citation needed] The station itself has a ticket machine, cycle storage huts and a shelter for passengers to wait in during rain.

The station was originally named 'California', and was changed to 'Belmont' on 1 October 1875.[4]
