Worplesdon railway station is near to the village of Worplesdon, Surrey, England. The station on the Portsmouth Direct Line between Woking and Guildford, 43 km (26¾ miles) south west of London Waterloo.

The station opened in 1883, surrounded by open heath and farmland. Some nearby land has subsequently been developed and the station is currently situated in an area of affluent, very low density housing; Worplesdon village itself is centred approximately a mile and a half to the southwest. The village of Mayford is located approximately a mile north of the station. Most think that that station lies within the Borough of Guildford, in truth it lies in the Ward of Mayford and Sutton Green in the Borough of Woking.

[edit] Service

The current typical off-peak service is one train per hour northbound (calling at Woking, Clapham Junction and London Waterloo) and one train per hour southbound (calling at all stations to Portsmouth Harbour).
