Dorking Deepdene railway station is a railway station in the town of Dorking, Surrey, England. Located on the North Downs Line, it lies Шаблон:Miles-chains from Шаблон:Stn (via Шаблон:Rws).[1] The station is one of three within Dorking, alongside Шаблон:Rws (elsewhere on the North Downs line) and Шаблон:Rws (on the Mole Valley line). The station is within walking distance of Dorking station[2] and interchange on a through ticket is permitted.
Dorking Deepdene is managed by Great Western Railway, which also operates all services through the station.
The station has two platforms, each long enough to accommodate a four-carriage train.[3] It is unstaffed and has no ticket office.[4] Tickets can be bought on trains, at the automatic ticket machine at the entrance to the station,[4] or at the ticket office at nearby Dorking station, which sells tickets for all National Rail services.[5] The station is located on an embankment above street level and the platforms can only be reached by steps;[4] passengers who require step-free access are advised to instead use Dorking West station, approximately Шаблон:Convert to the west, which is fully wheelchair-accessible.[6]
History
The Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway (RG&RR) was authorised in 1846 and opened in stages. One of the first parts to open was between Шаблон:Rws and Dorking, on 4 July 1849;[7] the terminus was at the present-day Dorking West station.
A second station in Dorking (what is now Dorking Deepdene) was not built until 1 February 1851; when it opened, it was originally named "Box Hill and Leatherhead Road" and it was shortened to "Box Hill" in March the same year.[8] The RG&RR was soon absorbed by the South Eastern Railway (SER).[7]
The station at Box Hill was temporarily closed from 1 January 1917, and reopened on 1 January 1919.[8] In the 1923 grouping the SER became part of the new Southern Railway, which on 9 June of that year renamed the station "Deepdene" to avoid confusion with Шаблон:Rws station.[9] On 11 May 1987 British Railways renamed the station "Dorking (Deepdene)".[10]
Services
All services at Dorking Deepdene are operated by Great Western Railway using Шаблон:Brc and Шаблон:Brc DMUs.
The typical off-peak service is two trains per hour in each direction between Шаблон:Stnlnk via Шаблон:Stnlnk and Шаблон:Stnlnk. During the late evenings, the service is reduced to hourly in each direction.[11]
On Sundays, only one eastbound train per hour runs to Gatwick Airport, with one train per hour running only as far as Шаблон:Stnlnk.

Future proposals
In November 2018, a £21 million upgrade of Dorking Deepdene station was proposed by the Dorking Town Forum, who submitted a nomination for funding from Network Rail.[12][13] The proposal includes:
- relocation of the platforms east of the current site (immediately west of the bridge over the Mole Valley line);
- construction of two new lifts, to allow step-free access to both platforms, and a pair of new waiting rooms;
- a direct foot link between Dorking Deepdene and Шаблон:Rws stations, by means of a new Шаблон:Convert-long walkway constructed along the western edge of the Mole Valley line.
