Riddlesdown railway station serves Riddlesdown in the London Borough of Croydon in south London, on the Oxted line. The station, and all trains serving it, is operated by Southern, and it is in Travelcard Zone 6.

[edit] Platforms

Platform 1 is the "left" platform for trains towards Croydon and London.

Platform 2 is the "right" platform towards East Grinstead.

The station is unusual amongst suburban London stations in that there is no means of crossing between the platforms within the station itself. The platforms are reached via separate footpaths leading from Lower Barn Road, either side of the bridge that takes the railway over the road. The ticket office and waiting room are on Platform 1.

The typical off-peak service from the station is two trains per hour to East Grinstead and two trains per hour to London Victoria. In the morning and evening peak period trains also run to and from London Bridge.
