The original Epsom Downs station (see Image) was situated several hundred yards west of this one, nearer to the racecourse which it was intended to serve, and had generous accommodation for the expected crowds of racegoers. But in 1989 the tracks were cut back about a quarter of a mile to this new single-platform station With the track now singled almost all the way back to Sutton, only an hourly service is provided. Race traffic has now entirely gone, and very few passengers use the station.
