Notes: The London Brighton and South Coast Railway Company, opened the station as Stoats Nest and Cane Hill. It was provided with four platforms serving both as a through station and a terminus. Following an accident at the station in January 1910, it was renamed Coulsdon and Smitham Downs in 1911. The Southern Railway renamed the station Coulsdon West on 9.7.1923 but that name only lasted 22 days as it was renamed Coulsdon North on 1.8.1923.

Coulsdon North station’s journey to closure began in the 1960s. With three other stations in the Coulsdon area, weekend passenger services were withdrawn from September 1965 and the goods yard closed in 1968. Off-peak passenger services were withdrawn from May 1970 and the station only opened from Monday to Friday for morning and evening peak periods. Coulsdon North Station finally closed in conjunction with the Brighton line modernisation and re-signalling scheme of the early 1980s, carried out by the Southern Region of British Rail.

The station up to closure had changed very little. It consisted of a large station building, four platforms, three of which had large canopies on them. These were all connected by a subway.
