The London and South Western Railway opened the station in 1891. British Railways closed the station's signal box in 1966, on the day that it commissioned the then-new signal box at Ash Crossing. Ash Crossing signal box has itself since been decommissioned and demolished. BR made Wanborough unstaffed in 1987. The station is 34 miles 29 chains (55.3 km) from Waterloo (measured via Worplesdon and milepost 30 1⁄4 at Guildford), and has two platforms, which can each accommodate a four-coach train.
