Services
South West Trains operate all Chessington Branch Line services. The service interval is thirty minutes during both peak and off-peak hours. All trains run to or from London Waterloo, calling at all intermediate stations (except Queenstown Road which has platforms on only the Windsor Line). The journey to Waterloo takes 37 minutes.
In common with the 16 hourly off-peak closer commuter services to/from London Waterloo calling at Earlsfield railway station and all intermittent London stations all managed by South West Trains, trains must stop at every intermittent station. There are no fast services available to mid distance destinations, which gives overcapacity towards the suburban terminus (Chessington) due to the longer journey time and overcrowding during the inner city phase of journeys. This situation can be contrasted to some other routes to destinations just outside of Greater London where there are fewer stops at stations nearer to central London.
