Platform 2 is the platform towards East Grinstead.

The station is unusual amongst suburban London stations in that there is no means of crossing between the platforms. The platforms are reached via separate footpaths from Lower Barn Road, either side of the bridge that takes the railway over the road.

On the London-bound platform 1, there is a staffed ticket office (open for only part of the day) and waiting room.

There are self-service ticket machines and Oyster scanners on both platforms.
