Opened in 1902 as "Christ's Hospital (West Horsham)" by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway on the line from Horsham to Havant, and Horsham to Guildford, this station was rebuilt to a smaller scale in 1972. The Guildford line had closed in 1965. View north east towards Horsham. The original station with 7 platforms was opened to coincide with the eponymous school relocating here, and had a further two platforms to the right, as well as more hidden in the trees to the left on the now closed line to Guildford. The latter platforms were restored in 2020 - see Image
