Service
At off-peak times there are 2 trains per hour north and 2 trains per hour south. Currently the services to Woking are usually at 00 and 30 minutes past the hour and those to London at 10 and 40 minutes past the hour. The station has two platforms and it predominantly served by stopping trains on the Woking to London Waterloo via Surbiton service. At peak times there are around 4 trains an hour to Waterloo, at other times half-hourly. On Sundays and late evenings/early mornings there is an additional service to Waterloo via Staines. As Byfleet and New Haw is one of the earlier stops on the Waterloo line, passengers getting on here stand a very good chance of getting a seat. The ticket office tends not to be open in the afternoons. Access for disabled passengers is difficult as passengers travelling in either direction need to negotiate a long staircase. There is no wheelchair access at this station.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“You had to face your ends when young
‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
But never made a poorer song
That you might have a heavier purse,
Nor gave loud service to a cause
That you might have a troop of friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Civilization is a process in the service of Eros, whose purpose is to combine single human individuals, and after that families, then races, peoples and nations, into one great unity, the unity of mankind. Why this has to happen, we do not know; the work of Eros is precisely this.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
