History

The station was opened by the Brighton, Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells Railway on 3 August 1868.

At the time the station was opened, the village of Eridge Green was owned by the nearby Eridge Park, seat of the Earls of Abergavenny.

The station used to be a junction for services running towards Tonbridge via Tunbridge Wells West (closed 1985) and Cuckoo Line to Eastbourne (via Heathfield and Hailsham) closed 1965.

When the Uckfield line was singled in January 1990 all trains used the former up line and only the former up island platform was used by British Rail. The former down island platform was then abandoned but was restored by the Spa Valley Railway, a preserved railway company, who reopened the railway between Eridge and Tunbridge Wells West on 25 March 2011, with trains using the former down line for about Шаблон:Convert north to Birchden Junction where the parallel single lines diverge.

In June 2021, work began to provide step-free access to both the National Rail platform and the Spa Valley Railway platforms at the station.[3] The work was formally completed on 16th February 2022.

The Wealden Line Campaign are attempting to re-open the railway between Uckfield and Lewes and Eridge to Tunbridge Wells lines as a part of the National Rail network.
