The London, Brighton & South Coast Railway opened the railway between Hurst Green and Eridge on 2nd January 1888. Ashurst station was opened on 1st October of that year. The station was destaffed around 1970, following which all the station buildings were demolished in 1983. It is now on the Uckfield to Oxted line and is one of the few non-electrified railways in South East England. The station feels very remote and quiet between trains. This looks down the line towards Eridge and Uckfield.
