Hampton Court Branch Line
- Hampton Court Branch Line
The Hampton Court Branch Line is a short branch line off the South Western Main Line. It has just two stations; Thames Ditton and Hampton Court.
The branch was inaugurated 1 February 1849, when Hampton Court railway station was opened. Originally carrieges were hauled by horses to Kingston station (later replaced Surbiton) where they were attached to Southampton trains and taken to London.
Train services are currently operated by South West Trains. There is a half-hourly direct service to London Waterloo which calls at all stations on the route except for Queenstown Road (Battersea).
The line is electrified, using 750 V DC third rail.
