Services and Facilities
Brill was a small town of 1,400 people when the line opened, and owing to the town's hilltop setting the station was 3⁄4 of a mile (1.2 km) from Brill itself. Brill railway station was small, with a single low platform. On its opening, there was one station building, which served as the freight depot, passenger terminal, and ticket office. Next to it was a siding that led to a cattle pen. After the 1899 transfer of services to the Metropolitan Railway, the MR introduced a single Brown Marshall passenger carriage on the line; at this time, a small wooden hut was added to the station to serve as a ticket office and waiting room and a short section of platform was raised to conventional height to allow access to the higher doors on the new carriage.
