Banstead railway station serves the village of Banstead in the borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey. Its wider definition of Banstead Village and Nork wards is relevant here as both are equally well served by it as it lies narrowly in the latter. The station and all trains are operated by Southern and it is on the Epsom Downs line, part of the Sutton & Mole Valley Line services. It is between Belmont and Epsom Downs, 17 miles 40 chains (17.50 miles, 28.16 km) down the line from London Bridge, measured via West Croydon.[2]

Housing and gardens in Banstead in this area border Greater London 500m away to the north. Accordingly, since January 2006, the station has been included in Travelcard Zone 6. The station lies some distance to the north-west of the High Street on the edge of Banstead Downs.
