Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Leatherhead railway station is in Leatherhead, Surrey, England. It is managed by Southern, with services provided by them and South Western Railway. It is 18 miles 2 chains (29 km) from London Waterloo.

Two train operating companies serve the station due to its location at the junction of the Victoria or London Bridge Horsham via Dorking line and the Waterloo - Guildford line via Wimbledon, Leatherhead and Effingham Junction on the New Guildford Line. [n 1] Both are secondary routes to the major towns. The two lines were originally constructed and owned by separate railway companies. From 1923 until 1948 they were under the same ownership as part of the Southern Railway. Following nationalisation in 1948 the routes were operated as part of British Railways until 1996.
