History
Alphington Halt had a 100-foot (30 m) long wooden platform with a flat roofed corrugated shelter located on the eastern side of the single track line with no sidings or passing loop.
Opened by the Great Western Railway in 1928, the station then passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
The station was then closed in June 1958 by the British Transport Commission.[1]
