History
The large car park and industrial estate were originally large goods sidings. Platform 3 is an addition to the original structure, built in 1938 when the line was electrified. Until then, Haslemere was just a standard wayside station, but it became steadily busier as commuter traffic from the surrounding countryside grew. There are now four trains an hour to Waterloo and three to Portsmouth.The station signal box, on the down platform, is a Grade II listed building. It is an LSWR type 4 design and has an original 1895 47-lever Stevens lever frame. It was formally decommissioned on 25 October 2025, as part of a programme of improvements that transferred its functions to Basingstoke Rail Operating Centre.
Since June 2008, a new footbridge with lifts provides disabled access to platforms 2 and 3.
In December 2016, the station received a new decked car park, which added significant parking space at the station.
