History


The station was opened c.1940 by the Southern Railway. Originally named Longcross Halt, it was not shown in regular timetables until 21 September 1942. On 5 May 1969 it was renamed Longcross by British Rail.[1]

Since early 2006, trains served from peak hours only, since some years after becoming Monday to Saturday, 6am to 9pm both ways half-hourly, with an hourly such pattern on Sundays. This reflects Longcross Garden Village being in part built.


Location


The station provides access to Longcross Garden Village, and the adjacent Longcross film studios. The station is not by a road but has a short, broad path to residential roads: Burma Road and Churchill Drive.

To the north is Wentworth Golf Course, lacking any rights of way (accessways) between it and the station.[2] The station is thus adjacent to parts of the Wentworth Estate and, beyond the M3 motorway, Chobham Common.


Services


The off-peak Monday to Saturday service at the station is:[3]

On Sundays the service reduces to hourly in each direction.
