In 1993 the line was electrified and services started to run through to London rather than being an extension of the Reading to Tonbridge North Downs Line service.
In 2007, a PERTIS machine was installed at the street entrance to the Tonbridge-bound platform. The station was until December 2008 operated by Southeastern before the Department for Transport approved the transfer suggested by Southern to its operations, whose green signage was installed before October 2008.
The station is unstaffed and there is a self-service ticket machine available as well as information screens and help points for train information. Step-free access is available to the Tonbridge bound platform only at the station.[1]
There is a small free car park and bicycle storage is available at the station.[2]

The typical off-peak service is one train per hour in each direction between Redhill and Tonbridge. A small number of additional services call at the station during the peak hours.[3]
