Gomshall railway station serves the village of Gomshall in Surrey, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Great Western Railway. It is on the North Downs Line.
The station was opened by the Reading, Guildford and Reigate Railway on 20 August 1849, and was originally named Gomshall and Shere Heath; it was renamed Gomshall and Sheire in March 1850, and Gomshall and Shere in September 1852. It also serves the nearby village of Shere. It has been unmanned since 1967. On 12 May 1980, the name was simplified to Gomshall. The station is 35 miles 21 chains (56.7 km) from Charing Cross, and has two platforms, which can each accommodate a three-coach train.
The typical off-peak service (from December 2006) is one train every two hours between Reading and Redhill (extended to Gatwick Airport on Sundays).
