Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road |
The Shepperton branch opened to passengers with a single track on 1 November 1864. Its promoters' scheme first intended to link this to what became today's District line and potentially to Woking railway station. A second scheme (abandoned 1862) intended it to extend to the Middlesex bank of the Thames east of Chertsey Bridge to serve the established town of Chertsey.[1] The curve linking Fulwell and Teddington initially opened to freight on 1 July 1894 and then carried passengers on 1 June 1901 as the replacement principal route. The line was electrified on 30 January 1916.
The typical weekday hourly service at the station is:
Monday to Friday, four additional early morning rush-hour trains to Waterloo are routed via Twickenham and Richmond. Three additional evening rush-hour trains from Waterloo arrive via that route.
The Saturday service is as on other weekdays without the extra services routed via Twickenham. On Sundays the service is hourly.[2]
London bus routes 216 and 235, and local bus routes 555 and 557, all serve the station.
