Services
Services from the station to destinations served are very frequent throughout the whole day (usually half hourly), with weekend services running at a similar frequency. Almost all of the services either start or terminate at London Waterloo.
The typical off-peak service from the station is:
- 2 trains per hour to London Waterloo via Wimbledon
- 2 trains per hour from London Waterloo via Wimbledon terminating at the station
Trains take 35 minutes for the 13.3 miles (21 km) journey.
In common with the 16 hourly off-peak closer commuter services to/from London Waterloo calling at Earlsfield railway station (more in peak) 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 Hampton Court due to the longer journey time and overcrowding during the inner city phase of journeys. This situation can be contrasted to certain other routes to destinations just outside of Greater London in certain other directions.
