Description
Train services are provided by Southern – the station is on the Oxted Line. The station is approximately 150m (geographically) from Whyteleafe railway station, to the north-west, which is on a nearby mainly parallel and shorter line from London, the Caterham Line.[3]
On the London-bound platform, there is a ticket office. Outside the station is a self-service passenger-operated ticket machine with cash and contactless payments. There is a card only ticket machine located on platform 2.[citation needed]
The "Upper" prefix originated because what is now Whyteleafe South station on the Caterham line, approximately 600 yards (550 m) to the south west, was previously (until 1956) called Warlingham station and the prefix was originally necessary to differentiate them, Whyteleafe South station being lower down in the valley. The prefix survived the change in 1956.[citation needed]
The station is included in London Zone 6.
