Whyteleafe South railway station serves part of the suburban village of Whyteleafe in the district of Tandridge, Surrey, England. The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southern, and it is on the Caterham Line.
There are three railway stations in the village, the others being Whyteleafe, and Upper Warlingham on the Oxted Line. This station was named Warlingham until 1956; its single-storey main buildings are on the Down side. The narrow gabled station house still exists.
On the Caterham-bound platform 2 is a manned ticket office (staffed for only part of the day) and a self-service passenger-operated ticket machine. A self-service PERTIS (PERMIT TO TRAVEL) passenger-operated coin-in-the-slot ticket machine is available on London-bound Platform 1 (This has now been removed making way for a second self-service passenger-operated ticket machine).

Famous quotes containing the words south, railway and/or station:
“These South savannahs may yet prove battle-fields.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“It was evident that the same foolish respect was not here claimed for mere wealth and station that is in many parts of New England; yet some of them were the “first people,” as they are called, of the various towns through which we passed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
