Background
History
The original Godalming station was a single-platform terminus, opened in 1849. It was located on a spur from just south of the current site Farncombe station, north of the River Wey. When the Portsmouth Direct line was completed in 1859, the current station was built. The original Goldalming station became known as Godalming Old. The old station remained in use until Farncombe opened in 1897, after which it was closed to passengers but remained open as a goods yard until 1969. The building was in a similar style to Micheldever railway station. The site at is now a residential development on Old Station Way. The new station is in a similar style to Petersfield railway station, further south…
