It opened in December 1887 as Byfleet, 49 years after the line was first constructed through the area. The station was renamed from Byfleet to West Byfleet on commencement of the Summer timetable, 1950. This reflected the name of the community that had developed around it, being a mile west of the original Byfleet village. West Byfleet signal box closed in March 1970.

On 27 December 1946 the station was the scene of the derailment of a Bournemouth to London express service hauled by SR Lord Nelson class 4 6 0, 851 Sir Francis Drake.

Only three people suffered minor injuries.

The station is served by all Alton and Woking (stopping) services from London Waterloo. It adjoins West Byfleet and Woodham which are suburban settlements in the boroughs of Woking and Runnymede, to the south and north of the line, respectively. As to other towns it is the closest station to parts of the town/suburb of Byfleet and parts of the semi rural suburb of Pyrford. The station has three platforms, one of which (platform 2) is rarely used in line with nearby other South West Main Line stations.
