Platforms
Platform 1 is the platform for trains towards Croydon and London.
Platform 2 is the platform towards East Grinstead.
The station is unusual amongst suburban London stations in that there is no means of crossing between the platforms. The platforms are reached via separate footpaths from Lower Barn Road, either side of the bridge that takes the railway over the road. The ticket office is on Platform 1.
On the London-bound platform 1, there is a manned ticket office (staffed for only part of the day) and waiting room.
There are self-service ticket machines and Oyster scanners on both platforms.
