History

The railway in Carshalton Beeches has been around since 1847 when track was laid between Epsom, Sutton and West Croydon but it was not until 1906 that a halt was opened in the small settlement, at the north end of Beeches Avenue (at the time called Beechnut Tree Walk). That same year a tram service between Sutton and Croydon opened. Beeches Halt was served by steam rail-motors (early multiple units) running between West Croydon and Epsom Downs.

As residential development continued, demand increased and the Sutton to London line was electrified in 1925 using 6600V, 25 Hz AC, Overhead electrification (OLE), replacing passenger steam traction. At that time the halt was upgraded, a new station built, renamed Carshalton Beeches and the road bridge was rebuilt. The OLE was replaced by the Southern standard of 650V DC third rail in 1930.
